1. install cygwin including necessary packages: autoconf,
   binutils, bison, gcc, gcc-mingw, gperf, make and
   mingw-runtime,

2. make build directory under the source directory,
     chdir ruby/src/
     mkdir i386-mingw32
     chdir i386-mingw32

3. run configure with CC='gcc -mno-cygwin',
     ../configure CC='gcc -mno-cygwin'

4. compile and install
     make all install DESTDIR=x:/path/to/install

Note that you need gperf command because you changed keywords.
