That was one of the problem; I removed pthread.h from the source of
pd-0.37-1test6 and it compiled. When I added "-mno-cygwin" to CFLAGS it
complained that it was not possible to determine the operating system, so
I added "#define FLEXT_OS FLEXT_OS_WIN" in flext.h and it compiled (there
must be a better way). 

Now I'd like to build a DLL instead of static libraries, but I can't
replace "CFLAGS_T=-DFLEXT_THREADS" with "CFLAGS_T=-DFLEXT_SHARED", as
instructed by Thomas, because this flag is for the msvc makefile, not the
cygwin makefile. There's special tools included with Cygin to create DLLs, 
but I don't understand (yet) how to use them. Any help would be 
appreciated.

If I eventually succeed, I should be able to cross compile externals for 
Windows (and maybe MacOSX) directly from Linux. Am I too ambitious?
