More likely the latter. I found also that there is a file missing from the GPC source package, os-hacks.h, why isn't it included in the tarball if it is necessary to have it when compiling under Cygwin or MinGW?
It isn't necessary to have it. My understanding (Frank can correct this if I am wrong) is that the RTS build does not require os-hacks.h, but if it is there, it uses it.
Also, I am not sure how the Win32 os-hacks.h can be added to the GPC source distro. It is pretty much OS-specific (hence the name), and it will only cause trouble if added to the general distro. Also, if IIRC, you can have a version of os-hacks.h for any platform, and the RTS build will use it.
