cygwin compiler modules in distutils check versions of the toolchain,
and break is the version is not a released one.

I can't see the rationale for such a behavior, and it is particularly
annoying since it cannot be bypassed AFAIK. As it is the only toolchain
to use those version checks, I suggest to just remove them. This affects
every python version from 2.4 to 2.6, and possibly the 3.* versions as well.

The cygwincompiler module has many workarounds for problems with cygwin 
and mingw32.

Can you please show where the error is, and what is the error version of 
the tools you use?

Closing for lack of information.  Will reopen if someone explains what the problem is.
