[Template-haskell] Building in Cygwin with Mingw gcc

[David Bergman]

Now I have tried to build the CVS head in Cygwin, using both gcc 2.95
and gcc 3.1 and both a Cygwin and a Mingw version of the compiler, I
give up...

The reason that this post is found here is simply because I need to test
out the Template Haskell implementation.

Anyone else having tried to build it using Cygwin? I would love to have
it up and running on a box beside my Linux one...

Using "./configure --build=i386-unknown-mingw32" with a 2.95 Mingw gcc I
get the following error:
