I am pretty sure EDK2 projects cannot be built using Cygwin
on Windows. I was told the gcc linker supplied with Cygwin
makes PE only executables, while the EDK2 unix build
environment expects ELF executables. Other tool chains that
are not in good working order:
1) DDK3790
2) VS2003
3) VS2005
4) VS2013
I would be happy to submit a patch to fix the 4 broken
Windows tool chains if there is any interest.
