If you `wget' a certain HTTPS URL in Cygwin, does it complain of not
being able to verify the certficate? If this happens, its possibly due
to the lack of certificates in Cygwin (you said it doesn't occur on Linux.)

As for your previous compile of Lynx, which version of OpenSSL did you
use? 0.9.8?
