The fltk team is working towards 1.1.7. Cygwin and mingw patches have 
been submitted, also by me. The current CVS versions works quite well 
with both gcc and gcc -mno-cygwin and I recommend them.

The only problem that prevents a cygwin release is that programs linked 
with shared fltk libraries hang, statically built programs work fine.
The 1.1.4 release was compiled with gcc 3.3.x and works fine with
shared fltk libraries.

This is probably caused (I have not tested this) by the problem related 
to libstdc++ in the current gcc 3.4.4 that causes octave to hang as 
well. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg00071.html.
