Yeah, that's bad. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about that
for 1.4. You should know that my focus for 1.5 is to make LLVM
completely portable by putting all the code that varies from platform to
platform into lib/System. This is partially implemented but there is
much more work to do.

I don't know what's up with that, but I'll do a cygwin build and see
what is happening.
