The latest 64-bit Cygwin vim package is 7.3.1314-1. Since version
7.3.1178, vim looks for your personal configuration file first in
~/.vimrc, then in ~/.vim/vimrc. I have my actual vimrc file in
~/.vim/vimrc and currently symlink to it from ~/.vimrc so that I can
run older versions of vim.
When I run vim-7.3.1314-1 on 64-bit Cygwin, it says that $MYVIMRC is
$HOME/.vimrc. ":scriptnames" also shows ~/.vimrc as the only vimrc
sourced.
So, Cygwin's 64-bit Vim is working just fine for me.

Are you sure you're running the full version of vim? ":version"
should show this at the top:
:version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Sep 13 2013 01:07:02)
Included patches: 1-1314

Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

It looks to me like you might be running the minimal version of vim.
Try this command.
$ cygcheck -cd | grep vim
vim 7.3.1314-1
vim-common 7.3.1314-1
vim-minimal 7.3.1314-1
If that looks the same on your system, would you post the errors you
