In general if you are a user and not a developer you want to use the latest
release branch (contains only bugfixes relative since the last version) and
not the master branch (might contain unstable development). For that you
want to use "git clone -b release-5-0 https://gerrit.gromacs.org/gromacs"
or if you have it already cloned "git checkout release-5-0".

I just uploaded a patch for this: https://gerrit.gromacs.org/#/c/3813/2

You can either use the patch or don't use GMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW. Cygwin comes
with fftw.
