What makes you think that?  It's not very likely, we've had no
complaints lately.  What versions do you use?

Maybe you installed lilypond/guile in a non-standard place (not in
/cygwin); you are kindly asked not to do that.

You could set GUILE_LOAD_PATH to where your ice-9 directory lives.

You should compile and use the extra regex-4.4 package that comes with
cygwin.  Make sure to configure guile using

    LDFLAGS="-lregex" ./configure ...

You can always check what the cygwin-cross compilation scripts (from
http://www.lilypond.org/gnu-windows/) do.

Jan.
