Python Image Library (PIL) build error on Cygwin

[Steve Holden]

Does anyone know the workaround for this error, encountered when trying 
to build PIL 1.1.4 from source under cygwin (Python 2.3.3)?

[...]

running build_ext
building '_imaging' extension
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes 
-IlibImaging
-I/usr/include/python2.3 -c encode.c -o 
build/temp.cygwin-1.5.9-i686-2.3/encode.o
C:\cygwin\bin\python2.3.exe (2352): *** unable to remap

       5 [main] python 1996 sync_with_child: child 2352(0x224) died

Erk. I *hate* having to mess around with stuff like this.
