It depends on which shell you are using. Since you are doing 
things from Cygwin, I am assuming you are using bash, which is the 
default shell in that environment. In this case, you should do:
  >out.txt 2>&1
which tells the shell to redirect stdout to a file, and then do an 
appending redirect of stderr to the redirected stdout. If you do 
things in the reverse order, you will not obtain the desired 
results. For an understanding of why this is, read dup(2), 
dup2(2), and bash(1).

I am curious where "-I/nonexistent/include" is coming from. This 
seems like an odd place. Did you install the Tcl/Tk headers to 
there?
