Cygwin make gives an "unknown platform" error #9

Description

I am running on Windows 7 64 bit using Cygwin.

I receive the following error:

gcc -O2 -DNDEBUG -falign-functions -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -Illt  -DUSE_COMPUTED_GOTO -c flisp.c -o flisp.o
In file included from llt/llt.h:5,
                 from flisp.c:46:
llt/dtypes.h:29:4: #error "unknown platform"
llt/dtypes.h:42:4: #error "__SIZEOF_POINTER__ undefined"
llt/dtypes.h:49:4: #error "this is one weird machine"
llt/dtypes.h:90:4: #error "unknown platform"
In file included from flisp.c:744:

Makefile:25: recipe for target `flisp.o' failed
make: *** [flisp.o] Error 1

This seems to be because the __SIZEOF_POINTER__ constant is not defined.

I would like to take a stab at making this work, but I'm curious: what I will need to change within the dtypes.h file?

As an aside, Cygwin's pointer sizes are:

        Cygwin   Windows  Cygwin
        Linux    x86_64   Linux
        Windows           x86_64
        i686

sizeof(int)         4        4        4
sizeof(long)        4        4        8
sizeof(size_t)      4        8        8
sizeof(void*)       4        8        8
