I've been trying to install Ruby 1.9.3-p327 in my Cygwin environment. No can do! I run Cygwin on Windows 7 (64 bit) on a Dell laptop. I get the following message in my C:\cygwin\home\PWerger.rvm\log\ruby-1.9.3-p327\make.log: (Please note that earlier version of Ruby 1.9.3 install easily and correctly in my Cygwin environment.)

I guess this is 1.9.3-p327 specific issue.

I think r34871 should be backported.
Or STRCASECMP can be used instead of wcsicmp.
