Installing GNU-Prolog under Cygwin64?

Is it possible to install GNU-Prolog v 1.4.4 under Cygwin64 (running under Windows 10)? When I run configure from the GNU-Prolog src directory, it aborts with an “unsupported architecture” message. Here’s some data from that session:

$ pwd

/gprolog-1.4.4/src

$ env reports that PATH is:

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wb

After running

$ ./config

config.log shows:

... (I suppressed irrelevant text here)

$ ./configure
