mapserv compiled out of the box for me with Cygnus toolkit
updated to use the gcc-2.95.2 compiler and the Dec 15 1999 dll
and the /usr/local distribution from
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/ 

I would imagine that the V1.0 cd distribution would
work also.

FWIW
There is a pending release of a new Cygnus distribution
that should work as well.  I would recomend waiting for it
if you do not have an augmented Cygnus system already.

I did not try to compile the Perl version of mapscript
but I did compile a Python version successfully.

I would recommend the Perl distribition also from
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/ 
for those trying to compile a Cygnus Perl mapscript.
