[nhc-bugs] Compiling from src under cygwin

[David Duke]

I've been trying to compile nhc 1.16 from source under cygwin (updated 
today) using gcc 3.3.1.  I have no other Haskell compiler installed on 
the machine.

Configuration goes fine, but there seems to be a problem with the 
asmlong.h file in the runtime/Integer directory, see the extract below. 
Looking at asmlong.h file, I wondered if the line breaks within strings 
are (now) legit.

	thanks
	David

p.s. I am aware I can download an executable, but if there is an 
underlying problem here, it might bite other people later ....

p.p.s. If someone knows the fix, could you please reply direct, as I am 
not on the mailing list.
