GCL and dependencies on cygwin

[Brian Inglis]

It looks like your GH build was cancelled hitting the 6 hour job limit!

How long did the build take in your VB VM?

If you look at the bottom of the Summary log page, you can download the build 
Artifacts, as well as the log archive from within the build log window.

But it looks like your enemy here is time, so you need to look at all the log 
timestamps, and do anything you can to increase caching and parallelism, maybe:

	MAKEOPTS+="-j "		# "unlimited" jobs

I have also had to force that in src_test to speed up massive numbers of tests:

	MAKEFLAGS+="-j " cygtest	# "unlimited" jobs

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis              Calgary, Alberta, Canada
