Disclaimer: I know nothing about ORBit.

However, I *do* know that the ORBit source distribution contains an 
embedded copy of old popt sourcecode.  Try to configure ORBit to link 
against the popt package that's already distributed as part of the 
cygwin dist.

It seems to me that the "old" version of popt that is included with 
ORBit is somehow frobbed.  By linking against the "system" popt you 
avoid that.

BTW, *where* does your /usr/include/mcheck.h come from?  I don't have one...
