We do all our development on Linux, even on Windows or Macs, we use Linux in a virtual machine. So you are trail blazing by compiling on cygwin.

I would not invest the time to get it to work, but if you particularly enjoy self inflicted pain, I'd start by build a cross compiler from cygwin x86 to something with an ELF executable target.

One of our engineers might suggest a more specific target architecture/abi, to build for.

Hi,
I am trying to compile example from 'Download' tutorial under Cygwin.
http://sel4.systems/Download/

What I get is:
