the project is Unix-based, I am just trying to create the both 32bit
and 64bit binaries for Windows users... I modified GDAL lib dependency
to include dirent.h instead of direct.h. The configure doesn't fails,
good. Unfortunately several compiled GRASS tools fails to run when
building:

      1 [main] g.proj (2604)
C:\cygwin64\home\landa\grass_trunk\dist.x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin\g.proj.exe:
*** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected -
0x180321400/0x901400.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

I do not have any other cygwin1.dll in path. Other GRASS tools are
compiled successfully, so the issue is probably related to linked
libraries or?

OK, thanks for explanation! Martin
