Thanks for that, Robert.

How do they (the CygWin guys) build it? They must do something to fix
that error. Why can't we (the Ruby guys) do the same thing (it's in a
#ifdef CYGWIN, so it won't affect anything else)?

I'm trying to build a CygWin program with an embedded Ruby interpreter.
It builds and starts running but exits immediately. I can't debug it in
Cygwin GDB - it just hangs whenever I do a 's' or 'n' command.
