This info is not very usefull for me to help you; it tells only which version of the cygwin1.dll you use.
It would be more significant to report the output of : 

cygcheck -c openGL 

which would tell us which version of the openGL package you have. 
I will assume 1.1.0-8 which is the latest; if not, please upgrade to it using the setup program.

No surprise: -mno-cygwin and -L/usr/lib/w32api are incompatible

That file tells you how to rebuild the package from its sources. I don't think that's what you intended.
To learn how to _use_ the package, please view: 

/usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0/README.txt

Obviously you added -L/usr/lib/w32api to the makefile. Undo all your changes to that file;
if unsure reinstall the package with the setup program. Then: 

cd /usr/share/doc/opengl-1.1.0/GLUIexamples
make clean
make 

That will build all 6 examples for both Cygwin (executables in the Cygwin subdir) 
and Mingw (executables in the Mingw subdir).

P.S.: Please send all questions and comments about the openGL package to cygwin at cygwin dot com.
