I've used Ocaml happily under cygwin before, but just bought a new 
machine and installed the latest cygwin (1.3.19-1) and latest ocaml 
sources (3.06). I can't even run ./configure without an error:

Configuring for a i686-pc-cygwin ...
gcc found
The C compiler is ANSI-compliant.
Checking the sizes of integers and pointers...
OK, this is a regular 32 bit architecture.
64-bit "long long" integer type found (printf with "%ll").
This is a big-endian architecture.

Something went wrong while checking native division and modulus, please 
report it.

If I try "make world" anyway, ignoring the above error, I get a core 
dump from "pervasives.cmi".

Help!

Thanks in advance,
Simon
