Yes, thank you. I had already stolen it from there.
However the 'old story' is still being told here
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin
6.21. How do I build Cygwin on my own?
First, you need to make sure you have the necessary build tools installed;
you at least need gcc-g++,
make, perl, cocom, ====> gettext <====, and zlib-devel. Building for 32-bit
Cygwin also requires libiconv,
mingw64-i686-gcc-g++, mingw64-i686-zlib, and mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core. ...
and here
https://cygwin.com/packages/
* gettext GNU Internationalization library and core utilities (PLUS
LINK LIBS) <====
* gettext-devel GNU Internationalization development utilities (but NOT
LINK LIBS)
That is why I wrote: reminder.
