Of course, I may be completely wrong, and someone may be looking into

Not me sorry, my windows knowledge is = 0.0. I just wanted to give it
a spin on the environment I had available and I reported the problem
to share my experience, maybe there are other cygwin users out there.
I could have used the environment myself and I would have tested my
own programs there but every fix which touches the window guts is far
beyond my knowledge. That -base doesn't even link is a bit bad.
Thus the future of gnustep on cygwin is uncertain, you may close the
bug if you are concerned with it sticking around... but there are many
others who hang there since ever, so I wouldn't worry.
Well, I sent the email as an attempt to see if there was someone willing
to take on a formal role of supporting gnustep building under cygwin
(either with unix/cygwin or windows/mingw runtime, or both), more than
to say we should say we don't support it. I'd rather have someone
supporting it than mark it as unsupported.
