Installing dejagnu and friends from the cygwin setup should be 
sufficient to take care of those problems.
I generally do make check for C and C++ as well as Fortran, as I see no 
chance of gfortran making the cygwin distribution without the others. 
All this takes about 2 days on my pentium-m laptop, maybe 5 hours for 
the Fortran part.  It used to be much faster, prior to "upgrades" of 
BIOS, Windows, and cygwin, but it always took twice as long as linux.
