Gee, this all rings a bell but it's hard to remember the details... But I
have the current Cygwin-python as installed by Cygwin's setup, and no sign
of any distutils.cfg on my hard disk, and I managed to build the latest
NumPy exactly as I described in my original message, with no --compiler
switch.

Bao Vu (have I got the name right?) you probably have the most
out-of-the-box Cygwin & Python setup of all of us. Did you build NumPy with
Cygwin and, if so, did you need to specify the compiler?

PS. if anybody thinks this is getting off-topic for Cygwin I'll gladly take
it off the list. I'm not actually subscribed any more but I look in from
time to time.
