CYGWIN32 is no longer a valid define to indicate CYGWIN.  Use CYGWIN 
instead.  I remember, from ancient history of this list, a strong supporter of slang.  I'm sure this was at least in the b19 time frame, if not 
before.  Unless someone else has been maintaining this port since that
time, I'd say the build instructions you have are a bit out-of-date.  Sorry 
but I don't have suggestions for updating the port, beyond the obvious of 
course!;-)
