Greetings!  I see.

1) Could you send me a build output, from the configure stage on?

2) I can see this from 1), but what system does configure setup for? 

3) Here is the patch I thought might help.  Has nothing to do with an
   nt break, but rather a segfault on unreliable stdin/stdout
   initialization.   What is an nt break?

4) I'd like to know how clisp handles cygwin in more detail. You can force the
   configuration choice with the following to ./configure:
        --enable-machine=XXXX will force the use of one of the definitions in 
h/XXXX.defs 
        
5) Would you like to be added to the list of contributers on savannah?
   To do so, you need merely fill out a brief registration there, and
   let me know.

Take care,
