what in this universe can ever crash on

maybe? sorry for mentioning you Jorge @helmantika but I just can't continue my story without fixing your issue ;)

it's related to GCC but not cygwin in fact

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 11.4.0
Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

doesn't invoke the default constructor (some optimization mmh?) while the version I'm using currently

gcc (GCC) 12.3.0
Copyright (C) 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

does it

[dougmencken]

currently it's not some initialization of global and static variables where it crashes, but

I surely have libx11-devel there, and that's what allegro4 prints during configure

MSys2 works well, I'm closing this
