Comment #8 on issue 64 by bertbelder: Support additional toolchains on Windows
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=64

In order to enable building nodejs (http://nodejs.org) on cygwin, v8 had to be made to build on cygwin as well. The patch that is used for this is attached.

It works for v8 versions up to 2.3.6.

On 2.3.7 the compiler complains about BitCast (utils.h) being ambiguous. Commenting out the second BitCast definition ('inline Dest BitCast(Source* const & source)') resolves the issue, although I get a lot of compiler warnings during build now.

The author of the patch is Raffaele Sena <[email protected]>.
