This problem also occurs with LessTif and many other codes.  It is because
Cygwin has a different style.

I usually search the configure script for something like "LD="$...." and
replace all those occurances with
LD="/usr/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cywgin32/bin/ld.exe"  This hard codes the ld.exe
path and also include at your ./configure --with-gnu-ld if this option is
available (check with ./configure --help).  Hard coding ld.exe path in
configure script always has worked at least in my hands.

Theoretically it supposed to work.  But; it does not awlays by doing
export... before using configure script.  Many Configure scripts apprantly
ignore it and seach for LD="$..." whatever.  Hardcoding the ld.exe path in
configure works at least always in my hands.

search the mail archives as there was a problem like this reported within
the past 2 months.
its to do with cygnus ld returning a win32 style path which confuses
configure.

i tried to compile CILK ( http://supertech.lcs.mit.edu/cilk/ )
and i got this error message:

checking for ld used by GCC... no
configure: error: no acceptable ld found in $PATH

though ld.exe is in the bin directory, what can i do to solve this
problem ?
