In my experience (couple of years worth of different Cygwin versions,
all relatively new stuff), the Cygwin kernel emulation stuff is
extremely unstable itself.  So that would probably get you a heck of a
lot of false positives in terms of faults occurring.

There are a couple of other Windows-->Unix emulation kits readily
available, so shouldn't be hard to find something that both runs
reliably and can make ./configure scripts work...
