insight and cygwin build problems

[Stuart Adams <sja@brightstareng.com>]

I too am having trouble building insight under cygwin 20.1

When linking the bfd library libtool attempts to 
use the Microsoft Linker "lib" to create the library and
fails to find "lib":

So I add the MSVC binaries to my path it gets to the
point of attempting to link gdb.exe and fails with:

> make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../bfd/libbfd.a', needed by `gdb.exe'.  Stop.
> make: *** [all-gdb] Error 2

bfd/.libs contains:

 libbfd.la   libbfd.lai  libbfd.lib

but there is no libbfd.a anywhere. So I create symbolic links
from where libbfd.a and libopcodes.a are supposed to be to 
libbfd.lib and libopcodes.lib. 

gdb.exe links but when I run it, it just returns.
