As I tell my programmers, `I know one way how you can find out' ;-)

Umm, what we're talking here is not building the packages that are provided
with Cygwin, but rather the support programs that enable Cygwin to do its thing.
For example, cygwin1.dll

To compile/build the other stuff, you'll need to download the package sources and
follow the build instructions for each package.
