Hi,
I tried compiling the runtime on latest Cygwin w/ GCC 5.3, but ran into some errors which are solved with the patch below.
A few of the code samples do work well under Cygwin (e.g. Fibonacci), but some don't (cilk-reducers-demo never finishes). Unfortunately I'm at the limit of my debugging skills and time to figure out why.
