It most certainly is not an "officially supported" platform. That said, 
if it supports the Win32 API (as it probably does ;-), there's a 
*possibility* that it could be made to work, but you're on your own for 
debugging it.

If it's missing the DOS NUL device, then that's it - Cygwin depends on 
that device being present.

Please check the Microsoft knowledge base for a NUL device on XP 
embedded, and try to figure out how your installation is missing it.
