The failed tests here were:

  FAIL: test-file-has-acl.sh

Known: Weird semantics of Cygwin w.r.t. ACLs and file modes.

  FAIL: test-mbsnrtowcs2.sh
  FAIL: test-mbsrtowcs2.sh

These were due to a wctob() bug for which I've added a workaround today.

  FAIL: test-poll.exe

Known. But will someone handle it?

  FAIL: test-u16-casecoll.exe
  FAIL: test-u32-casecoll.exe
  FAIL: test-u8-casecoll.exe
  FAIL: unicase/test-ulc-casecmp1.sh
  FAIL: unicase/test-ulc-casecoll1.sh
  FAIL: test-u16-normcoll.exe
  FAIL: test-u32-normcoll.exe
  FAIL: test-u8-normcoll.exe

These are typical consequences of a lack of iconv() facility.
You should install libiconv (prepackaged as part of Cygwin, or
self-built, does not matter).

  FAIL: test-u16-vasnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: unistdio/test-u16-vasnprintf2.sh
  FAIL: unistdio/test-u16-vasnprintf3.sh
  FAIL: test-u16-vasprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u16-vsnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u16-vsprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u32-vasnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: unistdio/test-u32-vasnprintf2.sh
  FAIL: unistdio/test-u32-vasnprintf3.sh
  FAIL: test-u32-vasprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u32-vsnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u32-vsprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u8-vasnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: unistdio/test-u8-vasnprintf2.sh
  FAIL: unistdio/test-u8-vasnprintf3.sh
  FAIL: test-u8-vasprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u8-vsnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-u8-vsprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-ulc-vasnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: unistdio/test-ulc-vasnprintf2.sh
  FAIL: unistdio/test-ulc-vasnprintf3.sh
  FAIL: test-ulc-vasprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-ulc-vsnprintf1.exe
  FAIL: test-ulc-vsprintf1.exe

These are also likely a consequence of a lacking iconv(): I did not
encounter these errors today when testing libunistring-0.9.3 on Cygwin.
