This is typical of code that declares it's own errno instead of using the
declaration from system headers. I'm assuming of course that *all* code
here is built using -mno-cygwin so that there's no mix-and-match.

Search for `extern.*int.*errno' in your code. If there is such a thing,
delete and include <errno.h> for both Cygwin and Mingw.

If that's not the case, please send me a download URL for the code or
just email me the package (.tar.gz) if it's under a meg or so.

Regards,
Mumit
