Well, for at least 3 months, "long time" might be the wrong words, but solidly been used for thousands of builds
on Windows XP x86 and Windows 2003 X64 systems.
We are not happy with Windows 7 stability, and we are exploring using Windows 2008R2, which is also 7, not
sure I completely understand the difference, but in any case, 2008R2 seems to be more stable.
So there may be CYGWIN issues with Windows 7 and newer,

We had some issues early on in 2003 X64, updated CYGWIN to 1.7.16, things got better, so we bundled up the packages and
when we create new systems we use the same 1.7.16 packages so all our systems in our build&test system are the same.
We also had some issues with overloading the Windows systems with the new build-infra makefiles (make -jN issues),
but after the "images" target was re-written a few months back, we seemed to be past the "images" hangs.

It has been my experience that the odds of any arbitrary version of CYGWIN working well is not very good,
and you need to be very careful when doing any updates, maybe more so with Windows 7? :^(
Most people never change their version of CYGWIN, but most people usually have issues with it too.

We are still planning on having MinGW/MSYS as a backup plan, and maybe even more than a backup
if CYGWIN continues to be an issue.

The only "fix" I found was installing an older version of Cygwin  (1.6.9) from a Red Hat server: ftp://ftp.ges.redhat.com/private/releng/cygwin-1.6/  I could build Hotspot with this version of Cygwin.

However with access to a DirectX 9 build only available on MSDN with a login I found a DirectX version from October 2004: dxsdk_oct2004.exe.  When I installed this I was finally able to successfully build OpenJDK JDK 7.  About time!

The *problem* is that the Summer 2004 build is not available anywhere - at least I couldn't find it.  I settled for August 2006 build, which was the closest I could find.  If you or anyone could point me at a link with the 2004 build I'd be grateful.

Most notable are some Microsoft products (DirectX) and recent versions of Cygwin hanging building Hotspot.  The almost impossibility of clean uninstalls of Microsoft products adds to the difficulties here.  I'm not sure anything can be done about this, at least for a make system for JDK 7 that is clearly long in the tooth.

The web suggests that the fix is obtained by placing your SDK entries before your VC entries in the PATH and the LIB.  I've done this but failure is the same.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
