To be more specific, it should be possible to build the mingw version of tcc on cygwin (I don't know, haven't had time to try) but what I would like is the linux/unix version---if it builds on unix, it should be buildable on cygwin---as long as you don't look under the covers to find windows. 

Probably you could do that.  It is just that you'll find that
such (almost true) linux/unix version of tcc will produce
(entirely) true linux/unix programs.  And these will not
run on windows, not even under cygwin.

This is already the case on Macs, but we still go to some lengths to support it anyway. And, just as with Macs, even if the compiled executables cannot be run on Windows, the memory output can be run. Knowing Chris, I'm pretty sure this is what he is most interested in. :-)

Chris, what happens if you run ./configure on Cygwin?
