IIRC, this one requires you to add link => 'c++' to
config/init/hints/cygwin.pl
You are going to run into more problems
(config/gen/icu.pl since disabling shared won't work)
though and searching the archives for entries by me
should help. I would seriously recommend using a
system ICU - it will save you a few headaches.

I have Parrot running on Cygwin beautifully except
some problems with the math libraries under JIT which
appear to be deeply imbedded in the Cygwin source. I
can work with you off-list if you want to get a recipe
book for Cygwin if interested to go back on-list.

I tried and failed miserably because of the Cygwin
math library problem. I began seeing syntax errors in
source files that weren't there before using the mingw
compiler option.
