[LLVMdev] fail to build LLVM 2.0 on Cygwin/WinXP

[Chuck Zhao]

I am trying to build LLVM 2.0 (source downloaded from llvm.org) under 
WinXP/Cygwin, and got compilation errors.
I have tried to use:
GCC 3.4.4.
GCC 4.0.4
GCC 4.1.2
and
GCC 4.2.0, and the error remains.

I looked at the code, but not clear what the problem is.
Please let me know what I should do in this case.

Thank you

Chuck
