Shouldn't have to change anything 

To check I just did a fresh Cygwin install and

./configure --with-libtool=no; make; make install

This works for me

Make sure you use Python 2.4  or else you will need to compile
your own Numeric extension module

This was with the latest GDAL source tarball from gdal.org
