I downloaded and built the latest version of check, and it seems to work 
much better. I still have issues with libpipelines tests. It appears 
that there is a 32/64-bit issue somewhere. I'm using Cygwin x64. Many of 
the tests fail with issues similar to the following:

/home/Chris/Stuff/non-GNU/libpipeline/build/tests/../../libpipeline-1.2.6/tests/exec.c:114:(.text+0x121): 
relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol 
`_ck_assert_failed'

I can dig a little deeper into this, and I can also try a 32-bit 
version, but not until later. I don't even have a 32-bit install of 
Cygwin on this box, and I'd have to figure out exactly what packages I'd 
need to build check and libpipeline.
