The warning is correct because libdecnumber is only supported on linux. See e.g. <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-06/msg00079.html> or libdecnumber/configure.ac: case $target in powerpc*-*-linux* | i?86*-*-linux* | x86_64*-*-linux*) enable_decimal_float=yes ;; *) enable_decimal_float=no ;; esac If it didn't print the warning in the past I don't think you can conclude much of anything, other than the lack of a warning was a bug that was fixed. Whether or not the library actually works on Cygwin if you force it to build is something you'd have to determine through experimentation, however it seems clear that its maintainers don't expect it to, or at least haven't tested it there.
