Subject: Problem Building Ruby Under Cygwin on Windows XP

Hi,

I am trying to build Ruby 1.6.7 under Cygwin on Windows XP.  I get the
following error:

364300667 [main] miniruby 2464 fixup_mmaps_after_fork: base address
fails to match requested address 0xAE0000
c:\Software\ruby-1.6.7\miniruby.exe: ***
recreate_mmaps_after_fork_failed
364309857 [main] miniruby 1888 sync_with_child: child 2464(0x3C4) died
before initialization with status code 0x610355A1
364318195 [main] miniruby 1888 sync_with_child: *** child state child
loading dlls

miniruby *seemed* to build OK; the executable built and I could invoke
it with no errors.  But when it starts being used after the dllwrap -o
dummy line, I start getting a bunch of errors like the ones above.  I
have version 2.249.2.5 of Cygwin installed.

Any ideas as to what the problem here is?

Thanks,
