Thanks.

Firstly, I notice that you dropped 4.10.0-libcamlrun_shared.patch.  Can 
you explain the reasoning behind that?

(After a bit of digging, I found this mail 
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2010-October/191524.html which 
explains the rationale behind it)

Next, when I try to build this:

on x86:

I guess perhaps that configure option needs to be conditionally used on x86?

camlheader[di] are made without the .exe extensions (you've changed the 
cygport to add the exe, so maybe this was wrong before as they are 
executables)

I'm not sure if that's a missing bit of patching or something different 
in your environment?

Seems like this requires the --enable-ocamltest configure option?
