Does this mean I shouldn't bother building it for cygwin?

I tried it anyway (cygwin-1.7), just to see what would happen.  I used 
g++ 4.3.2 and ./configure && make CFLAGS=-DBROKEN_COMPILER.  During the 
configuration I got the warning

WARNING: *** Broken rpc headers; XDR support disabled ***

I don't know what that means or whether it's important.  The compilation 
produced some errors

alloc.c:875: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' 
before 'word'
alloc.c:880: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' 
before 'word'

(repeated in several places) as well as

alloc.c: In function 'GC_expand_hp_inner':
alloc.c:942: warning: implicit declaration of function 'GC_max'
alloc.c:950: warning: implicit declaration of function 'GC_min'
