Building GNU Pascal for Win32, using cygwin32 beta14.
-----------------------------------------------------

[0] Before you begin: I tested this with cygwin32 beta14. So far, each new
    cygwin32 beta has broken compatibility with previous releases.

[1] Don't use gcc sources from the cygwin32 distribution. These are not
    just modified from FSF gcc-2.7.2 to support the win32 target, they
    are the "current development release", and too different from FSF gcc
    to be compatible with GNU Pascal, which is based on FSF sources.

    Instead, apply gcc-2.7.2.cygwin32-beta14.diff.gz to FSF gcc-2.7.2
    to add cygwin32 platform support to gcc.

[2] Replace gpc-1.2-2.7.2/gcc.c with this gcc.c
    Otherwise you may experience forking problems. (gpc not being able to
    start gpc1, as or ld).

[3] Last (but not least!): The GPC compiler in the binary distribution was
    built on a Linux system using a crosscompiler. For some reason, I cannot
    run shell scripts (i.e. "configure") in bash on Windows95.

Hopefully, all of these problems disappear once cygwin32 is more stable and
part of the regular FSF gcc releases.
