I'm trying to build a program recently ported to tango with gdc.

For whatever reason, when building in either linux or cygwin (windows), I get
"Unsupported environment; neither Win32 or Posix is declared"

Under cygwin, gdmd -version=Win32 results in 
"Error: version identifier 'Win32' is reserved and cannot be set"

Any tips on how to do this properly?

When building against a Posix API, you need to define version=Posix.  I 
do this in dmd.conf when using DMD, but I'm not sure how to do so with GDC.

 Under cygwin, gdmd -version=Win32 results in

See above.  The weird one is mingw, which should actually have Win32 
defined.
