It seems that the criteria that autoconf applies for the "HAVE_MMAP" 
test includes a test whether mmap supports mapping to a fixed location. 
Cygwin does not support mmap to a fixed location, and therefor this test 
fails, which causes rsyncrypto to not include the appropriate test. This 
failure is meaningless, however, as rsyncrypto does not need to mmap to 
a fixed location.

I'll try to rewrite the test so it applies to cygwin as well.
