This feels a bit too broad - it assumes that everyone is compiling with

As far as I know the current version should work OK with older Cygwin,
as the affected #includes are needed only for non-Cygwin systems.

I think that's right.

Okay, I can be convinced on that point.


There's still the question raised by Corinna (on the Cygwin mailing list) as to 
whether we should be testing for __NEWLIB__ rather than __CYGWIN__.  I'm 
inclined to say yes, just for the sake of clarity, since the headers in 
question come from newlib.  In other words, I would suggest the following, if 
Eric agrees:

  /* Get definition of 'sigset_t'.
     But avoid namespace pollution on glibc systems and "unknown type

+   name" problems on newlib systems..

No double '..'; and maybe the comment could say "newlib systems,
including Cygwin", since that is our most common newlib system.

Otherwise, I'm okay with the change.

Could someone install this change (assuming there's no objection)?

Thanks.

Ken
