No. I took the cygwin perl-5.8.0-1 sources, configured and build it 
OOTB. It should build with the current cygwin dll. Do not try an older 
one, the latest cygwin dlls contain a number of fixes only to get perl 
with threads running. Mostly they were pthread_key and fork related.
I had some problems with pthread_conds (some tests failed erratically) 
which are fixed in the CVS repository. The fixes should be in the next 
cygwin release.

Maybe.
I noticed that the embed test has failed, debugged and recognized that 
the test failed due the perls internal malloc problems. If i remember 
right it was a segmentation violation. After i disabled perls malloc all 
tests have passed. I never build perl without thread support.
