See cygwin.com to find out. You do not need Cygwin to run WinAVR.

There was a previous WinAVR bug report on this, but I've had to close it 
because I have never been able to reproduce the problem here. See the 
bug report here:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=971964&group_id=68108&atid=520074>
Somebody made a comment on that thread about a technique that worked for 
him to get around it. Though I can't say for sure whether that is the 
correct thing to do. Perhaps it will help you.
