Yes, thank you. I had already stolen it from there.

However the 'old story' is still being told here

    https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin

    6.21. How do I build Cygwin on my own?
    First, you need to make sure you have the necessary build tools installed; you at least need gcc-g++,
    make, perl, cocom, ====> gettext <====, and zlib-devel. Building for 32-bit Cygwin also requires libiconv,
    mingw64-i686-gcc-g++, mingw64-i686-zlib, and mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core. ...

and here

    https://cygwin.com/packages/

     * gettext        GNU Internationalization library and core utilities (PLUS LINK LIBS) <====
     * gettext-devel  GNU Internationalization development utilities (but NOT LINK LIBS)

That is why I wrote: reminder.
