Hi, >Compiling for windows within cygwin doesn't even work.
Works fine for me. Make sure that you alias gcc to gcc-3 and optionally uninstall gcc-4. Then grab this make version (http://www.go-mono.com/archive/helper/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2) and overwrite your existing one. Finally, ./autoconf.sh; make; make install.
