gzip-1.3.12-2 build from source fails with errors during make


I'm trying to build the latest gzip-1.3.12-2 from source, following the instructions in "/usr/src/gzip-1.3.12-2/INSTALL", but get some errors during the "make" step.

I don't think there are any errors during the "configure" step, but have attached the "config.log" file if you want to check. After doing "./configure", running "make" gives the following output:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The "cygcheck.out" file is also attached.

I'm not familiar with building packages from source on Cygwin, so could be doing something stupid. However, as a test, I was able to successfully build "wget" from source following the instructions in "/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/wget.README".

So, I assume that there isn't anything too wrong with my build environment... but maybe there are some Cygwin specific instructions that I need to follow to build "gzip"? The ones in the INSTALL file seem to be generic, but that's all I have been able to find.

Thanks,
Yuri McPhedran
