Hi Colin, Cygwin 64 is currently not supported. It has already been reported that the regular cygwin build rules aren't sufficient for building on Cygwin64. None of the core developers of CHICKEN have a Windows machine, we all rely on using virtual machines for testing. On modern.ie, there are several free (as in beer) virtual machines available for testing, but none of them are 64-bit builds of Windows, AFAICT. So this probably means we won't be seeing support for Cygwin64 in the near future, unless someone is willing to create a patch and maintain this platform.
