The configure script makes a bad assumption about memory mapping, and
cygwin (Win32 really) works slightly differently.  You need to fix the
script (there is already a hook for platform specifics) or come up with
some other fix. Search the list archives for my name and you should come
up with a patch to work around this.  I also believe one of the cygwin32
repositories hosting program compilation instructions has the details.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.  However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.  It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead.  --RFC1925, "The Twelve Networking Truths"
