Have you also tested that the existing non-GPU win32-cygwin-x86-sse2
make target works for you? If not yet, please test it. If it fails for
you, then please debug that before approaching the GPU task.

x86-any is for ancient CPUs (prior to year 2000, really). While it
shouldn't necessarily cause any problems (other than poor speed with
many of the JtR formats), you should be basing your GPU target on
win32-cygwin-x86-sse2 instead. Similarly, -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2
would be wrong (it assumes non-use of MMX, etc., which is only
reasonable in the -x86-any target for ancient CPUs).

Quite possibly we did not test bleeding-jumbo with -x86-any targets
lately. We should do so before we make a release based on this branch.
For your work, just base your new make target on -x86-sse2 and this
problem should be gone.

Please feel free to post about your progress often. You just may not
expect the rest of us to comment each time. ;-)

I'm afraid not.
