Taking a second look at this and noticing some past post about this issue
with WinXP (http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/rcx/legos/?n=2470) a much
cleaner code might look like the following

#
# WindowsNT/Cygnwin, test against several values:
#
ifneq (,$(findstring $(OSTYPE),cygwin32 cygwin WindowsNT
Windows_NT)||$(findstring CYGWIN,$(OSTYPE)))
    EXT=.exe
    CC =gcc
    CFLAGS+=-D_WIN32
endif

  Current Makefile logic fails for nonNT Windows OS
 
I am compiling under windows 98 using cygwin version 1.3.10. In Makefile.common (/legOS-0.2.6,/legOS....2.6/util) the logic to determine whether the OS is a windows system fails due to the fact that uname returns CYGWIN_98-4.10. I submitted a bug (...)
