binaries = at least:
  freeciv-1.14.1-win32.zip
  freeciv-win-cvs-Aug-20.zip
  freeciv-win-cvs-Jul-06.zip
from the www.freeciv.org web site. 
I haven't tried newer versions yet. Will do so and report if the 
bug has gone.

If it can help, on my machine (Win XP) the program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) { 
  printf("%2$s, %1$s\n", "first", "second"); 
  exit(0); 
}
outputs "$s, $s" when compiled with gcc 3.3.3 -mno-cygwin,
and " $s, $s" when compiled with gcc 3.3.3 for cygwin.
(instead of the expected "second, first" if I understand correctly)
