There was some recent discussion that suggested the separate
distribution of hmake does not build under Cygwin, but that the
version included with nhc98 builds fine.  I am sorry to hear that
even the latter version does not now build correctly.  It would be
helpful if you could supply some more details, such as the output of
./configure, and the last few lines of output before the failure.

Could you supply some more details, particularly about how you worked
around problems (a) and (b)?  The only reason for #include'ing those
files is to get the standard typedef for int64_t etc.  Is there an
alternative location for that in Cygwin?

I don't have access to any Windows machines, but surely someone else
on the list must have?
