[vlc] xpidl.exe crashes during VLC with mozilla build using cygwin

[ken -vlc]

hello

While building VLC for the mozilla plugin, having followed the
instruction here:
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/mozilla-plugin-compile.html

make crashes at this point.

/cgydrive/c/gecko-sdk/bin/xpidl.exe -I/cygdrive/c/gecko-sdk/idl
-I"c:\gecko-sdk/idl" \
  -m header -o vlcintf ./vlcintf.idl

there is no debugging, i just get the windows "send error report" thing,
Make stops with a recursive error:

make[2]: *** [vlcintf.h] Error 5
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ken/vlc-trunk/mozilla'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ken/vlc-trunk'
make: *** [all] Error 2

i've tried reinstalling the gecko-sdk. I wonder if this is the lastest
version, i've looked on the mozilla server and i don't see any newer
releases for the cygwin environment.

my configure file:
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/win32/include -I/usr/win32/include/ebml
-I/cygdrive/c/gecko-sdk/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/win32/lib -L/cygdrive/c/gecko-sdk/lib"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/win32/lib/pkgconfig \
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin" \
XPIDL=/cygdrive/c/gecko-sdk/bin/xpidl.exe XPIDL_INCL="-Ic:\gecko-sdk\idl" \
./configure \
    --disable-gtk \
    --enable-release --enable-mozilla \
    --with-mozilla-sdk-path=/cygdrive/c/gecko-sdk \
    --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx \
    --disable-gnomevfs \
    --disable-mad \
    --disable-skins2 --disable-wxwindows

the "how to" on the VLC site skips over the unzip of the gecko-sdk, The
XPIDL is set to the D: Drive for the location of the xpidl.exe, but the
C: drive for everything else. I'm assuming my change to the C: drive in
the XPIDL line is not the problem. Or that i'm supposed to have this sdk
in two different places.

thanks for any help!
