Failing tests while bulding ACK under Cygwin 32 bit

[Fabrizio-Caruso]

I have run make to build ack under Cygwin 32-bit and I got the errors below but "make install" seems to work ok.

Maybe my results are related, even when caught on Debian and Raspbian. They patially overlap with the errors above.

Belatedly: these have been failing for a while. The CP/M tests are just noise and the other tests depend very much on which architecture you run the tests on --- they're emulator bugs.

At least some of these should be fixed by #200.
