[LLVMdev] Cygwin Compile Fails for me too.

It seems awfully tricky to get llvm working on a windows machine.
I just want to use the tools,  since I want to write my own front end.

Here's where I get stuck
llvm[2]: Linking Debug executable burg
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.1/../../../libstdc++.a: could not read 
symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/usr/src/llvm/Debug/bin/burg.exe] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/llvm/utils/Burg'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/llvm/utils'
make: *** [all] Error 1

I tried running ranlib on libstdc++.a to no avail.  Perhaps I'm using 
the wrong tools in my Cygwin setup?
I've got gcc 3.4.1.  Any help would be appreciated.  Should I try the 
Mingw compiler?
