Should be basically the same compiler:

  i686-pc-cygwin-gcc (GCC) 4.5.3 20110428 (Fedora Cygwin 4.5.3-4)

The error message is kind of nonsense anyway.  The expression in question
is

  sizeof (cygheap_exec_info) + (nprocs * sizeof (children[0]))

so it's just a `sizeof', not an actual usage of the member.  Try this
for now:
