ctypes 0.9.2 on cygwin

Has any else tried to install ctypes 0.9.2 in cygwin?

Indications are that previous versions worked on cygwin.

I am running a fully up-to-date cygwin on Win XP (fully patched but 
without SP2).

Cygwin currently installs Python 2.3.4

The .zip archive will not build on cygwin, as it expects the windows 
extensions (and probably msvc).

The .tar.gz archive builds and installs, but 59 of 175 unit tests fail.

I unpacked the .tar.gz; and did
        python setup.py build
        python setup.py install
        cd unittest; python runtests.py

Some tests failed:

$ python runtests.py
Warning: could not import test_unicode.py: dlsym, Win32 error 127

It looks like all the other failures are at the same point.

I don't have any code which uses ctypes, so I have to rely on the self 
tests.
