[Mono-list] GC error building mono on windows

[Jean-Marc André]

Hi,

I had the same problem.
If it still doesn't work, try this: in the configure.in file replace 
"mno-cygwin" by "mcygwin" on the line 20 and check your gc.h is in 
something like /usr/include or /usr/local/include.
Then re-run autogen.sh

Hope this helps

JM
