? For me from a clean build, auto-autoloads.el is the first thing to be
compiled. Whatever, it hangs on the first lisp file for me.
HOWEVER, I notice this warning, which looks very bad:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:

ing: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000
Right. This is because I added -mwindows to the link line because otherwise
you still get a console window despite your console cleanups. I don't know
whether the warning is safe or not - its what we used to do for runemacs
with no noticeable side-effects.
A quick test at home doesn't make any difference, and bizarrely removing
all the .elcs and recompiling *works* for me at home - regardless of
--mwindows or not - , so I am slightly suspicious of a cygwin bug.
Which version of cygwin are you using?
