Do you have environment variables like INCLUDE or PATH pointing to 
Microsoft headers/tools?

Hello Tony,

>My builds of recent development snapshots on Cygwin fail.

My question to _you_  - how did you get that far? :)

When I compile recent gcc snapshots on cygwin, somewhere along the line the 
sources try to include windows.h (presumably the standard MS include file). 
This file is not part of the gcc distribution. (I am compiling a 
cross-compiler for the arm-elf target)

My experience with Cygwin has not been overall good - it's very slow to do 
multifile makes, and basically I've given up and moved to Linux.

build failing on Cygwin-- preprocessor reports cyclical #includes

[Tony Minkoff]

My builds of recent development snapshots on Cygwin fail.

I have attempted the build both on a Win2K machine and on an NT 4.0 machine
with similar results.  On each machine, Cygwin was installed from the web
within the last few days, accepting the default versions of all packages.

I have attempted to build both the 20010122 and 20010205 snapshots with the
same results.  For each snapshot, I downloaded the core and g++ components
from the snapshot, and configured with --enable-languages=c++ (and a new
directory for --prefix for each attempt).

Here is the output from one such attempt:

    tm.h:4:23: #include nested too deeply
    [snip]

Cygwin.h, in fact, does not include tconfig.h, at line 36 or any other line.
To try to figure out just what the preprocessor was doing, I tried inserting
a #error directive in cygwin.h prior to line 36, but its presence was not
indicated in the build output.  I then tried inserting a #error directive in
libgcc.c (and removing it from cygwin.h), with the following result:
