I just tried it on Cygwin.   The `random' declaration is easy to fix.  
Simply delete the line "extern long random (void)" in Dividend.m.
That function is not even used.   (Also make the change above -- which 
is a bug in ASM.)

There's a stranger problem that Cygwin users that have updated to the 
latest Cygwin packages may run in to.  In
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/objc/objc-api.h starting on 
about line 102 is are declarations that start with
"extern void objc_verror" and end with "objc_error_handler".  Comment 
these three lines out if compiles of ASM fail.
These declarations aren't needed within Swarm and the variable argument 
declaration isn't working for reasons specific to Cygwin.
