[Mono-dev] Problems Compiling Mono in Cygwin

[Luke Page]

I apologise for a third email.

When I put mscorlib in the place it sugests (in order to try out just that
command on its own) it just crashes in the same way as the build, suggesting
mscorlib problem is a red-herring : The real problem is compiler-tester
throwing an unhandled exception during a cygwin build.

Is there a way to bypass running compiler-tester or a possible reason why it
would fail without an error message during a build?
