if you follow those steps, but then don't override the host in the ./configure step to just let it pick up the cygwin environment will it work properly?

No: Configuring extensible-exceptions-0.1.0.0... cabal-bin.exe: Cannot find the program 'ghc' at '/c/bin/ghc-6.10.1.20090308/bin/ghc' or on the path 'ldd libraries/cabal-bin.exe' finds no cygwin dependencies; everything points to /c/WINDOWS/system32. I presume that the mingw-ghc used the include mingw gcc, not cygwin's gcc. Indeed, I tried deleting that file, and got: ghc.exe: could not execute: C:\bin\ghc-6.10.1.20090308\gcc It doesn't seem like it will build cygwin programs. -- Stop Gnomes and other pests!
