I think the solution for my problem isn't that simple because compilation
with an elder cygwin installation (gcc 4.0.3) still works fine.

With my current cygwin (gcc 4.1.0) I made some updates at the end of April
and for that time compilation fails.

I performed an uninstall and used the previous versions, but the error
remains. That just happens with mplayer other self compiled software with
cygwin seems to operate correctly; I haven't recognised an error yet.
