The Cygwin/X developer has reported that the problem does indeed seem to
be caused by the fact that xdvik uses an old libtool, and he has found a
simple workaround:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-01/msg00130.html
His instructions are phrased in terms of a standalone build of xdvik,
but they adapt easily to a build of texlive: After running the texlive
Build script, do the following:
$ cd Work
$ cp /usr/lib/libXt.dll.a texk/xdvik/.libs/libimp-cygXt-6.a
$ rm texk/xdvik/xdvi-xaw.exe
$ make
The resulting texk/xdvik/xdvi-xaw.exe can then be copied to the binary
directory and stripped, and it seems to work fine.
