It is much better but I am still getting one failure:

src/.libs/liblog4cplus_la-cygwin-win32.o: In function `VarCmp':
/usr/include/w32api/oleauto.h:487: undefined reference to `VarCmp'
/usr/include/w32api/oleauto.h:487:(.text+0x34f): relocation truncated
to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `VarCmp'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:1110: recipe for target `liblog4cplus.la' failed
