This location is correct, so Xerces prefix is /usr.

I have no idea how cygwin works, but GDAL building configuration
expects to link against -lxerces-c. IOW, libxerces-c.so file is used.

Recently, I significantly improved Xerces detection for Unix

(see last big comment)

and perhaps now it will work for you, but I'm still doing a palmistry.

The only thing I can say is "perhaps". Haven't used cygwin, so no
experience here.
