Yes, or at least, the first time in years.

I did indeed have gcc 3.4.4, which that file mentions doesn't work.
Thanks, that explains the failure. But it leaves me with two
questions:
* Couldn't "configure" detect the gcc version, and fail if it finds
that we're using any of those bad gcc versions on Cygwin? That
would have saved me and you time.
* Do I need to build gcc 4 myself from source? It doesn't appear to
be available from Cygwin's setup program.
