[Numpy-discussion] problems building in cygwin under vmware

[Chris Kees]

Hi,

I'm getting an assembler error "Error: suffix or operands invalid for  
`fnstsw'" while trying to build numpy on cygwin (running under windows  
XP running on vmware on a mac pro). I've tried the last two releases  
of numpy and the svn version.  Has anybody ever seen this before?
