Can you take a screenshot of the dialog box and either post a URL for it, or send it to me directly (I imagine this mailing list doesn't want largish attachments cluttering up everyone's inbox)? I ran into something similar two years ago trying to cross-compile some apps on cygwin... turned out a configure check executable got interpreted as a win16 binary, causing an annoying dialog box!
