Out of curiosity, I tried the test cases I found in that thread, more 
precisely here:

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00434.html


and the results are:

$ gcc otto_test1.c -o otto_test1

Are the errors in the last test case to be expected under the 20130612 
snapshot (CYGWIN_NT-5.1, 1.7.21s 20130612 21:06:59, i686 Cygwin)?


Ciao,
