Re: [Tinycc-devel] plans to 0.9.27

[Chris Marshall]

I just confirmed that restoring the "build
windows tcc with cygwin" win32/Makefile still
works.

Since there is no posix cygwin build of tcc
available, I suggest not breaking the cygwin
build until there is an actual posix/cygwin
tcc build supported.

After the 0.9.27 official release, I look
forward to contributing development of
a native posix cygwin tcc.
