The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to gnu.emacs.bug as well.

I veryfied emacs-21.2.95 this with the latest cygwin release and I could reproduce this on my system too. I was able to compile emacs too with the latest cygwin 'gcc version 2.95.3-10 (cygwin special)', but the problem still exists: cl pops up a "Abort, Retry or Ignore" Dialog.
