Did you or could you send a copy of config.log when configuring on NT?
Remember to "make distclean ; ./autogen.sh" first. If there are any
errors or warnings during this stage we'll also need those.

Try adding "-fpermissive" to the compiler flags: CXXFLAGS
This should tell it to accept no return types without an error although
you might get warnings. I can't remember what compiler version you had
but this looks a lot like 2.95 or maybe 2.95.1. Is there a newer release
of gcc for the cygwin environment? a snapshot perhaps instead of an
actual rease might have 2.95.2 as it's compiler and this would help a
little but the compiler flag should be sufficient.
