Are you using `graph/win32/grwin32.c'?  This gets selected if you set
the make variable `PLATFORM' to `win32'.  Normally, this gets
auto-detected by code in FreeType's `build/detect.mk' file (which in
turn calls all `builds/*/detect.mk' files to actually do the tests).
Maybe this check doesn't work under Cygnus...
