XP SP3 or Cygwin?

I have a script which builds a sandbox and recompiles OpenLDAP 2.3.39.
The script takes the sources (locally stored) and extracts, compiles,
and installs in a sandbox OpenLDAP. These scripts are in Subversion and
have not changed nor has the source code for OpenLDAP. Normally, they
work without any problems.

My only comment - why on earth are you building OpenLDAP under Cygwin? It performs much better as a native Windows app, built using MinGW/MSYS. The overhead of Cygwin's POSIX emulation is far too heavy for practical use.
