Problems with building latest soltools/mkdepend on WinXP/Cygwin...

I am trying to build the latest OO1.9 source on a Win XP/Cygwin
platform. Downloaded OO via CVS, got Cygwin and MSVC++ toolkit,
MS Platform and .NET SDKs installed, got the assorted other MS
DLLs and libs and files like nmake.exe from different places, ran 
config_office/configure followed by ./bootstrap and then dmake.
With some tweaking, got a bunch of modules like icu etc. building
(these all use the MSVC++ environment). The build fails in the
Soltools/mkdepend module with the message:

"ld: @/tmp/<somename>: No such file: No such file or directory"

I tracked this to solenv/inc/_tg_app.mk, where the following line is
getting executed:
.IF "$(linkinc)" == ""
$(APP10LINKER) @$(mktmp \
......

Looks like this linker invocation is actually for an MS linker
(since it uses options like -out: and -map:). I thought the soltools
code should be using the gcc/gld-or-ld environment.

Thanks in advance,
Ajoy.
