Thanks for the tip, I scrolled down the build log and did find a bunch of
definitions under a line which said "testcurl: display lib/curl_config.h"
I'll pick this up and (and at some later time) I'll try to create a new
Android.mk file and try to use the conventional NDK toolchain process to
build curllib.

The conventional NDK toolchain process works in cygwin because the NDK
build system does all the necessary work (like converting all cygwin paths
to windows paths etc.)
The NDK build process also works on a regular Windows command prompt (and
this time, no path translations are necessary for the compiler)

However, the compiler cannot work with cygwin paths. Google documentation
(<ndk>/docs/STANDALONE-TOOLCHAIN.HTML ) says that they have no plans to
support cygwin or MSys for the standalone compiler process.
Unfortunately, my limited knowledge of cygwin and the configure script
doesn't tell me how long it might take to make the standalone compiler work
with cygwin paths (and fix any other cygwin/configure/compiler issues that
might have made Google say that they won't support cygwin with the
standalone compiler process)

Anyway, if I find some mins for this dureing next days I will try to kick

Thanks again for all the time you've spent on this topic.
If you do find the time to run a build with cygwin, It will be really great
to know what you find and to know if/how a Windows machine can be used to
build curllib.a for Android (with the cross-compiler)

Thanks Ram
