I don't have much useful to say, but I did notice that the gcc-gdc version accepted as current by Cygwin Update is ancient:
gdc is /usr/bin/gdc @eboesch ~: gdc --version gdc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Sometimes the use of old versions as "current" in cygwin indicates problems with the porting of newer ones. This would be analogous to, and maybe even directly caused by, how cygwin remains stuck in the gcc 3.4 branch even though gcc 4.0 came out years ago. I downloaded the gdc-gcc binary and tried to install Tango from source. It creates libgphobos.a and then returns a "module object cannot read file 'object.d'" error. So I was not successful in building Tango for cygwin that way. Bypassing gdc and using dmd seemed like the best bet, but since that was tried already I thought I would try to stick with gdc. I guess I'm inclined to bail now.
