Try to run through the gdb debugger (if available under cygwin):
./configure COMPILED_BY=you --enable-debug && make
gdb ./unix/povray
run some_scene.pov

Debugging session wasn't needed. There was my mistake. I didn't copy cygz.dll
which is required to run povray properly. That's why it terminated immediately.
The weird fact is that previous version of povray.exe was working properly
without this library (but had a little bigger size). Was cygz.dll compiled in
povray.exe?

If the older binary is a bit bigger and that the new one requires the
external library, it's very likely that the old binary was linked against the
just-compiled zlib (that comes with the POV sources) while the newer binary
has been linked against the zlib already installed on your system (and that
was detected by configure).
Easy, right? :-)
