I would guess the CygWin at fault first since it ought
to be more involved but I wouldn't rule out .NET
especially if it messes with C header files.
The only way you can find out what the problem is is
to try both a) deinstall .NET and see what happens.
b) go back to your old CygWin version and see what
happens. c) Both a and b.
Unless others are having the same problems since about
0.99.2 on Windows who didn't change their CygWin or
.NET which means something in Abi is going wrong.
Sorry I can't do more to help right now.
