Because of the problems I'm having compiling the perl module 
Compress-Zlib 1.08 and because the cygwin page
(http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ported.html) lists a port of gcc2.95.2 
(ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/gcc-2.95.2/).   
(If this isn't a good compiler, please let me know, let me know how to 
uninstall it, how to install the proper one, and update your web page. 
For now, I'll assume it's the correct compiler, even though it installed 
into /H-i586-cygwin32/bin, and not /bin.)

For some reason, cpp complains about an option (-remap) that isn't on 
the command line or in the makefile and eventually runs out of 
processes.  I've tried running the gcc line standalone and I get the 
same effect, so the Makefile isn't causing the problem..
(I searched my system for multiple cygwin*.dll's and found only the 
correct one.)
