building under cygwin on win2000

[Sandy Currier]

Hi all,

I am trying to build 3.81rc1 under the most recent cygwin:

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 curriers 1.5.9(0.112/4/2) 2004-03-18 23:05 i686 unknown 
unknown Cygwin

The make version I am using is from the CVS tip from mid February (which 
builds
fine on linux and solaris, obviously).  The cygwin build gets some test 
failures.
Can anyone advise as to whether the failures are normal for cygwin?

Thanks much in advance!
