Cygwin binary?

We don't support targeting Cygwin, I'm afraid.  Details here:

	
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/winbuild.html

Various people have worked to provide libraries offering Posix-like
facilities for Haskell on Windows, to ease the kind of porting you are
trying to do.  I'm not sure what the status is, though.  Mike Thomas
might be a good person to ask.
