The testcase compiles just fine for me with no errors. Please review the problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>. You did not provide the requested cygcheck output, and so there is not enough information in your message to be of any more help. As a guess I would have to say that you're not using Cygwin's gcc due to some other gcc being in the path, but that's just pure speculation. By the way, including "-lpthread" is not necessary and serves no purpose. All of the pthread support is in -lcygwin (cygwin1.dll), which gets linked against by the gcc specs file regardless of what options you use (except of course for -mno-cygwin.) There is no such separate "pthreads library" as on unix, and libpthread.a is provided just so that Makefiles that expect to be able to specify -lpthread continue to work, but it is not necessary and serves no useful purpose.
