Error building cygwin-1_7_18-release from cvs

Hi,

I am encountering an error build cygwin-1_7_18-release from CVS.

Before I plunge into that, it might be wise to address why I would want
to do that in the first place.

I apply a local patch for my own use to the DLL to enable sharing of the
install from the host to my VM guest. It has worked for a few years now.

The guest is W2K and as per the release notes, cygwin-1_7_18-release is
the last release to support it. Don't worry, I'll be migrating my guest
at some point. In the interval period, I'd like to keep at least
Proof-Of-Concept that I can keep the setup limping along.

In any case, I've attempted to checkout the release as per:

$ cvs -d ':pserver:anoncvs@cygwin.com:/cvs/src' export -r 
'cygwin-1_7_18-release' cygwin

My configure was successful:

$ ../cygwin-cvstransfer/src/configure 2>&1 | tee config.log

But my build is failing, with the following tail output:

c++wrap -O2 -g -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wstrict-aliasing 
-Wwrite-strings -fno-common -pipe -fbuiltin -fmessage-length=0 -MMD 
-Werror -fmerge-constants -ftracer -mno-use-libstdc-wrappers -c -o

Am I doing something wrong here? Perhaps the toolchain has moved along
now, and the build no longer works? To that end, I've attached a
cygcheck.out.
