I asked in the forums of kde-cygwin at
https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1040022&forum_id=85789
about the message.

This was the answer, and fixed the configure error, by just returning 
true for the missing functions.
But maybe the mkdtemp is dependant on mcopidl? (see make error below)

ln -s true /bin/mcopidl
ln -s true /bin/artsc-config
./configure

But now I get an error when running make:

ktempdir.cpp: In member function `bool KTempDir::create(const QString&, 
int)':
ktempdir.cpp:77: error: `mkdtemp' undeclared (first use this function)
ktempdir.cpp:77: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only 
once for each function it appears in.)
make[3]: *** [ktempdir.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/kimdaba-1.1/kimdaba/compat'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/kimdaba-1.1/kimdaba'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/kimdaba-1.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I think there's a missing 'include' for qt (or where ever mkdtemp is 
defined) in the makefile?
Maybe I've to add a --configure--blabla-dir = /bla/bla.
