[PATCH] config.mak.uname: Cygwin: Use renames for creation

When generating build options for Cygwin, enable OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES. This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds.

This problem was reported on the Cygwin mailing list at https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-08/msg00102.html (amongst others) and is being applied as a manual patch to the Cygwin builds until the patch is taken here.
