That's a good sign at least :)

Looking at the logs, the main difference is that win32security.c is
not compiled in -lpgport for cygwin, and cygwin goes through
src/include/port/win32.h to refer to some routines, so I would think
that the correct fix is to add win32security.c to the list of OBJS for
cygwin. So the attached is correct perhaps? That's a blind fix I don't
have cygwin set up on my machines now.
