Okay, you can chant an incantation at configure to get esound to compile:
configure --target=i686-pc-linux --host=i686-pc-linux
That causes the build to work on Cygwin. It seems that esound is using an
ancient (1999) version of autoconf that doesn't know that Cygwin exists.
I need an autoconf/automake wizard (Robert Collins comes to mind :) to
update autoconf/automake for esound and send the patches in to the esound
maintainers. That way we should be able to build without passing fake build
flags on Cygwin.
