 Starting with version 3.0.1, Octave is once again part of the normal
 net distribution of Cygwin, available from http://www.cygwin.com.

+It is possible to build Octave from source on Windows systems with Cygwin,
+but with the old gcc-3.4.4-3 compiler there are some performance
 problems related to the way C++ exception handling is implemented.
-This is a known problem with a long history so it is suggested to use

+This is a known problem with a long history and it is STRONGLY 
+encouraged to use gcc-4.3.2-1 or later.
+
+Current binary versions are built with gcc-4.3.4-3 while 
+binary version 3.0.2-2 was built with gcc-4.3.2-1.
+
+The latest development Octave development sources (octave-3.3.54+)
+are built with:
+
+configure --enable-shared \

-Binary version 3.0.2-2 is built with gcc-4.3.2-1
+"--enable-float-truncate" is needed for the following bug:
+http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.bugs/12361/focus=12404
+Without it, one of the quadgk test will fail as
+"a=a" could be false due to truncation problems with 
+complex numbers. 
+
+ 
+"lt_cv_deplibs_check_method=pass_all"  is needed to bypass
+incorrect libtool detection of system capabilities and
+to allow shared libs building.

+Octave-3.2.4 was built using:
