A follow-up on this.

Cygwin has recently[*] added support for C99 complex math, taken from NetBSD with code that is very similar to that from Steven Moshier available via http://www.moshier.net/c9x_readme.html.

That code isn't entirely right, especially not at the cuts on the inverse functions where C99 mandates what cut is used (and neither glibc nor Mac OS X have it correct).

I would expect that the current R-devel (I mean an SVN checkout now) should build on your platform, substituting the missing functions by ones based on earlier code. There may be a few more tweaks required, but I have corrected several errors in the versions FreeBSD would have used in R 2.12.1.

[*] AFAICS not yet released in Cygwin, but in newlib 1.19.0.
