Hi Jim,

That is the right procedure, and it is tested with the version of Cygwin
I have here.

Can you let me know what version of Cygwin you have? It looks more
recent, if so I'll upgrade and ensure it works for 5.07.

If you want to dig further, we use an M4 macro to test for the C
standard integer types, these are missing under Cygwin so it tries to
build a replacement in GCint.h, looks like a problem either with the
macro or with Cygwin integer headers.

This is mainly to get a 64 bit integer type across as many platforms as
possible. Irritatingly Cygwin is one of the few "platforms" not to
already include stdint.h.

The hack is probably to edit out the conflicting declaration in GCint.h,
could you mail me a copy of src/GCint.h produced by configure please.

If necessary we'll update and release the current CVS version, as 5.07
to fix your problem, so it need not be fixed in some distant future release.

 Thanks for the report,

 Simon
