I got the same error compiling on Solaris.  The fix for that works for Windows also.
Edit compat/Thread.c and change line 205 from:
pthread_cancel( oldTID );
to:
pthread_cancel( thread->mTID );

iperf 2.0.2 then compiled without a problem on cygwin/WinXP.  I did not write the above change.  I found it by Googling for "iperf oldTID" when trying to get iperf to compile under Solaris.  

HTH,
