Alternatively, even though I hate to point people to older versions
of Cygwin, you could try the old Cygwin 1.5.25.  I'm not quite sure,
but I think it was compiled for i586 or even i386.  It's not as
feature-rich as Cygwin 1.7 but it worked, and maybe the set of
POSIX functions is sufficient for you.  See the Cygwin time machine
at http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/index.html#cygwincirca

If you want to go even further back in time, then MSYS may be the
right thing for you.  It's a rip-off of Cygwin 1.3.22 with a few
patches to supposedly building native executables a bit better.
Just make sure to grab the old MSYS, not the more recent MSYS2.
See http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS


HTH,
