Comment:

 Here some suggestions for digging deeper:

 1) remove any previous installation of chicken from the cygwin environment

 2) build the rc3 tarball like this:

    make PREFIX=<prefix> DEBUGBUILD=1 PLATFORM=cygwin all install

 Do the checks still fail? If no, you could try upgrade your cygwin
 installation, perhaps this is a compiler bug. If the checks fail, are the
 failures exactly the same as in the original run? Select some failing test
 and compile it:

    <prefix>/bin/csc tests/<testfile> -k -o xxx

 Then start gdb:

    gdb xxx
    b runtime.c:1103                    ("C_check_nursery_minimum()")
    run -:d

 What happens? If you reach the breakpoint, enter "bt 10" and show us the
 output.
