Any Ideas how to solve this cygwin Go build error

Question

I am building a go program for windows with cygwin. I cannot find a solution to this problem any where. any help would be useful.

We had to remove cygwin and install this compiler http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download , and we had no problems.

Remember to remove the cygwin gcc compiler from your PATH

I hope it'll help you.
