Problems building Guile 1.4

[Richard Bytheway]

I am trying to build Guile 1.4 under Cygwin for use with Lilypond. I grabbed
the 1.4.tar.gz file from sunsite, and unpacking gives the following error:

        address@hidden /home/lilypond-dev
        $ tar xfz guile-1.4.tar.gz
        tar: guile-1.4/ice-9/and-let*.scm: Cannot open: No such file or 
directory
        tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

which means the build dies with the following:

        address@hidden /home/lilypond-dev/guile-1.4
        $ make
        Making all in ice-9
        make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lilypond-dev/guile-1.4/ice-9'
        make[1]: *** No rule to make target `and-let*.scm', needed by `all-am'.
Stop.
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lilypond-dev/guile-1.4/ice-9'
        make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I found and-let-star.scm from anonymous CVS, and stuffed it in the 1.4 tree,
the build now stops here:

        gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -o guile .libs/guileS.o guile.o
.libs/libguile.a -Wl,--export-dynamic
        .libs/libguile.a(net_db.o): In function `scm_resolv_error':
        /home/lilypond-dev/guile-1.4/libguile/net_db.c:195: undefined reference 
to
`h_errno'
        collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
        rm -f .libs/guileS.o
        make[1]: *** [guile] Error 1
        make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/lilypond-dev/guile-1.4/libguile'
        make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Is this because I cheated the and-let-star.scm file problem? Or is it a
Cygwin problem?
