  My problem is always that I can't compile cygchicken-0.dll without first
compiling cygegg-0.dll.  Unfortunately cygegg-0.dll has a dependency on
cyguchicken-0.dll so I can't compile cygegg-0.dll without first compiling
cygchicken-0.dll.

  Does anyone know a way to resolve this situation, or perhaps just a better
way to describe it?

  I never for one moment dreamed I'd ever see the day when the words
"historical cmake-based chicken build" made sense.

IIRC a hacked junglefowl package was used to create the initial 
cygegg-0.dll

Note: It has been hinted that large portions of the closed-source 
junglefowl can be found in the chicken sau^H^Hource, but so far the 
creator of junglefowl has provided no evidence to back up these claims.

You need to use the road cross compiler, I think.  That should get you
to the other side of this problem.
