[Mono-list] Compile error with current cvs

[John BouAntoun]

Are we at the point (with this gc.h error) that we should start trading =
cygwin/system specs to see if its something else in the background =
causing the problem?

This is the problem that I fixed when I added -DWIN32_THREADS. Sometimes
(i didn't investigate further) the GC_API #define wasn't being defined
properly (lacked dllimport) because WIN32_THREADS was not always defined
(!?). This causes a SIGSEGV when mono runtime accesses GC variables such
as GC_finalize_on_demand.

If we fix the problem without using -DWIN32_THREADS... Can you check if
defining _DLL and removing WIN32_THREADS work?

Btw, I'm using gc6.1 headers and dll and didn't run into the problems
you have.
