When I try 'gcc -mno-cygwin' I get the following:

(Is the Makefile calling gen-fac_ui incorrectly?...)

$ CFLAGS='-mno-cygwin' ./configure
...
$ make
cd build; make
make[1]: Entering directory
`/cygdrive/c/User/Programming/Lisp/CommonLisp/ecl-20
09-07-05-759pmPST/build'
cp
/cygdrive/c/User/Programming/Lisp/CommonLisp/ecl-2009-07-05-759pmPST/src/util
/gdbinit .gdbinit
if (echo c gc gmp | grep gmp); then \
          cd gmp && make install && \
          cd .. && mv include/gmp.h ecl/ && rmdir include &&  \
          mv ./libgmp.a ./libeclgmp.a; \
        fi
c gc gmp
make[2]: Entering directory
