Last I heard, there were problems in cygwin's pthreads implimentation
that prevented FlightGear from working correctly with threads enabled
on that platform.

I haven't heard that these issues have been fixed.  At one point
Norman Vine was trying to work with the cygwin/pthreads person to
resolve this, but as I understood, that person wasn't willing to
acknowledge the problem and do anything about it.
