Oh, so it's cross compiling. I see. I never installed mingw32
under that name, but since it's a GCC port, I assume the GCC
shipping with cygwin was the same (and that the difference
between it, mingw32, devc++ and all were just differences in
what IDE/tools shipped with GCC).
Well, maybe this explains why stderr seems to be disliked by
this GCC then (it complains about iob being undefined, and it
works fine when I remove stderr from my sources).
This also explains why the building insns did not tell me to
run ./configure :)

Anyway, it's not abvious at all that it's cross compiling, as
there is a paragraph on cross compiling just after the cygwin
bit, and it doesn't say that the above was cross compiling.
