[U-Boot-Users] Problems Building u-boot-1.3.1

[raptorbrino at aim.com]

I guess a better question is whether u-boot should support
builds on cygwin without modification.  If the answer is
"doesn't matter," your answer suffices.  If the answer is
yes, something must be modified.  My fix was to add the
-ansi switch to the build flags, however, there's probably
a less invasive way than requiring the compiler to only use
ansi compliant features.

I would recommend fixing it by using a nice Linux system instead of
Win$, but thats just me...
