Yes.  It's because configure checks for many things based on uname
output, which still says cygwin.  So accept my apologies and forget all
that.  Instead, try this patch and the --disable-cygwin option it adds.
No need to set --cc with this patch.  Also, this is totally untested,
but is straightforward and should work.
