Missing posix package building on WinXP
I installed Cygwin, ghc 5.02.2, happy 1.11, and ghc-
5.02.2-src-1.tar on an XP system. Lacking lndir or
similar executables, I mad a copy (cp -r) of the
source tree to a new directory fptools and worked my
way through the build instructions, ultimately doing:
$ ./configure
:
$ make
:
==fptools== make boot - --unix -wr;
in /home/Martin/haskell/fptools/ghc/compiler

I also tried to just build sub-trees with similar
errors.
Seems the windows binaries don't include the posix
package. Is this just missing? Is there a way around
this and build the compiler and utilities on XP? I
thought needing Cygwin anyway, there should be no
problem to have posix support available.
