windows: sporadic configure errors in cygwin

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Thomas,

I have seen the error before, but I do not recognize it as intermittent. 
If you find any more information, we will be interested.

I usually run 64bit cygwin and find that to be slightly faster in 
general, but 32bit should work fine. The date you installed (as in 
exactly which versions of all the packages) likely has a bigger impact 
however.
