digitalmars.D - native dmd and cygwin

Hi,
   I've been trying to get started with D on windows. As a long time cygwin
user I first tried gdc, but I've been stumped by a compiler crash
with forward declarations see:
   http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1325

So I have tried using dmc/dmd instead. There seems to be some kind of
environment clash. I've tried setting PATH, LIB and LINKCMD as documented on
but there is clearly something I'm missing. I suspect a documentation bug (i.e.
there is at least one other important var).

(note: running in DOS but with cygwin on path)
F:\projects>c:\cygwin\bin\make dtest2
dmc hello.d -o hello
c:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe hello,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

If instead of using my normal cygwin friendly DOS prompt I use a plain one I
can get the samples to compile using shell all.sh as documented
on http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dcompiler.html. I've played with bud/build with
similar results. Anyone know what the critical setting(s) I'm missing is? 

Regards,

Bruce.

And a non-working environment which has the documented LINKCMD, LIB and PATH

What is wrong with environment 2?

I have a partial explanation. The critical variable is GCCINCDIR. Its value is
too long. A shorter value does not kill DMD. I have entered this as a bug. -
