The bootstrap script already sets CC and CXX this way as of Yaakov's 
changes of August 11.  You can see 'g++-3 -mno-cygwin' in the link 
command that I quoted in my original post.  There must be some other 
reason that /usr/lib/libuuid.a is used.

Here's the build command right before the one I quoted, in case it 
provides some clue:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++-3 -mno-cygwin -Werror 
-Wall -Wno-uninitialized -Wpointer-arith -Wcomments -Wcast-align 
-Wwrite-strings -g -O2 -mwindows -Wc,-static -static-libtool-libs  -o
