I wasn't able to reproduce this.  I ported FreeTDS to Cygwin some time 
ago, and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it apparently still works, 
in both 0.64 and current CVS.

Please do the following:

make distclean
script
uname -a
./configure --enable-extra-checks --prefix=/home/dchang/freetds_0.64
make
exit

Then email the resulting "typescript" file directly to me, and I'll have 
a look to see if there's any obvious signs of trouble.
