problem building perl module Compress::Zlib 1.08 from inside cygwin

[Steve Kelem]

I'm having problems building the Compress::Zlib 1.08 perl module from inside cygwin.
It appears to be a C compiler problem.  The (knowlegable) author of Compress says it looks like a cygwin problem.
I've attached the output of cygcheck -s

Thanks,
Steve Kelem

Steve,

I don't do any development on NT, but from the look of the output you've
sent me it looks like a problem with cygwin.
