Hmm, that's right.

Now, I don't have any compiling error, only a system crash. :-)

It happens (reproducibly) when compiling cmatrix.cc . But obviously that's
cygwin guys's problem now.

What configure options did you use?  It looks like you are trying to
use --enable-shared, which is not really supported yet on Windows
systems (unless someone has done some work that they haven't told me
about).  Try again without --enable-shared.
