The makefile that is in (my case) /build/arm/tcl/cygwin has tclunix*
filenames within it, is this as you have built or did your make file use the
tclwin* files. i.e. the line:

libtcl_cygwin_a_SOURCES =   regcomp.c  regexec.c         regfree.c
regerror.c  tclAlloc.c  tclAsync.c  tclBasic.c  tclBinary.c  tclCkalloc.c
tclClock.c  tclCmdAH.c  tclCmdIL.c  tclCmdMZ.c         tclCompCmds.c
tclCompExpr.c  tclCompile.c  tclDate.c         tclEncoding.c  tclEnv.c
tclEvent.c  tclExecute.c  tclFCmd.c  tclFileName.c  tclGet.c  tclHash.c
tclHistory.c  tclIndexObj.c  tclInterp.c  tclIO.c  tclIOCmd.c
tclIOGT.c  tclIOSock.c  tclIOUtil.c  tclLink.c  tclListObj.c  tclLiteral.c
tclLoad.c  tclLoadNone.c  tclMain.c  tclNamesp.c  tclNotify.c  tclObj.c
tclParse.c  tclPanic.c  tclParseExpr.c  tclPipe.c  tclPkg.c  tclPosixStr.c
tclPreserve.c  tclProc.c  tclRegexp.c  tclTestProcBodyObj.c  tclResolve.c
tclResolve.c         tclResult.c  tclScan.c  tclStringObj.c
tclStubInit.c         tclStubLib.c         tclThread.c  tclTimer.c  tclUtf.c
tclUtil.c  tclVar.c  tclAppInit.c  tclUnixChan.c  tclUnixEvent.c
tclUnixFCmd.c  tclUnixFile.c  tclUnixNotfy.c  tclUnixPipe.c  tclUnixSock.c
tclUnixTest.c         tclUnixThrd.c  tclUnixTime.c  tclUnixInit.c

 I ask because the tclwin*.h files are then used in these files and there
are some missing #defines in the tclwin*.h files that exist in the
tclunix*.h files. Ian Roxborough mentioned a missing -mno-win32, that
certainly is missing from my makefiles and would ensure that the tclunix*.h
file were included.

I am quite happy to help track the problems if I can. At the begining of the
year I was doing weekly builds of insight and the GNU toolchain but since
our first son was born and the MSc thesis I have been writing, life seems to
run out of time. I am now trying to keep up with the CVS and build the
toolset each week and then report any problems I find.
