More fun stuff... bison-1.875 is broken. See my reply to Brian Keener
earlier today:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2003-03/msg00162.html

After that:

cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs at sources dot redhat dot com:/cvs/cygwin-apps co setup
cd setup/libgetopt++
./bootstrap.sh
cd ..
mkdir .obj
cd .obj
../configure -C --enable-dependencies --disable-shared \
--host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin 'CC=gcc -mno-cygwin' \
'CXX=g++ -mno-cygwin' --enable-maintainer-mode
make

In case you are wondering, the configure line is from the setup homepage:
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html

Max.
