Thanks Lars and others who suggested MinGW, MSYS. I have that  set up now.

Where it builds in cygwin but won't run in DOS, the problem now is 
configure succeeds but make fails in MSYS/MinGW.

The log messages at the end of make look like:
depbase=`echo prepargs.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`;\
      gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..     -g -O2 -MT 
prepargs.o -MD -M
P -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o prepargs.o prepargs.c &&\
      mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po
depbase=`echo rtapelib.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`;\
      gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..     -g -O2 -MT 
rtapelib.o -MD -M
P -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o rtapelib.o rtapelib.c &&\
      mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po

I've googled the error and various people have seen it and sent the 
error to mailing lists, but I haven't found an appropriate solution.

BTW, the MinGW tar works in MSYS, but when I try to run in in a cmd 
(DOS) window, I get an error saying:

This application has failed to start because msys-1.0.dll was not found. 
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Another dependency on environment, this time msys.

Is there a switch for "configure" that removes that dependency or points 
to a different set of libraries to use? I have set LDFLAGS=-static to 
build a static executable, and am using --disable-nls to exclude 
language support.

thanks,

Mike
