Please see this answer on similar question.

In short, define following environment variable:

CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict

or

CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native

and be sure you run Cygwin with elevated privileges (right-click the shortcut and choose Run as Administrator, or set the mintty shortcut property, Advanced → Run as Administrator).

All details are provided in the other answer.

I got it next day! So, not to wrongly get ignorance thinking like me (newbie to cygwin), I answer it now. Making symbolic link is easy for window 7 with these command ln -s ... as usual. The answer is setting up cygwin with required package like make,etc. Read requirement clearly. http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html

You may try to use "mklink" insteed of "ln -s" as @Tony O'Hagan suggested here: Git Bash Shell fails to create symbolic links
