Been there, done that.  It will never work right.  CygWin32 is junkware
and rarely ever works right.  I gave up on that nearly 2 years ago (beta
19, if that's a hint).  Even when it works right, it spontaneously
crashes 45 minutes into the 50 minutes of indexing. (on an index which
takes 5 minutes using MSVC or MinGW32 binaries.)

The Unix emulator is a disaster.  Especially, since there is no need to
use Cygnus' Unix emulation library on Windows when building an ANSI C
program.  The Windows C runtime library fully supports ANSI C.  Have a
look at my SWISH stuff at:
http://www.webaugur.com/wares/swish.html

Under experimental builds I have links to Minimalist GNU Win32 and
modified source (1 or 2 preprocessor directives changed) and makefiles
for GCC with MinGW32.  MinGW32 adds the neccesary headers and libraries
to allow GCC to link with the Win32 C runtime libraries.  You'll get
rock solid, fast executables out of MinGW32 where CygWin32 is horribly
buggy and slow.

Use anything but CygWin32 ;-)
