[egenix-users] Cygwin compile problem in commercial 2.0.6

[Steve Holden]

The subject line pretty much explains the problem. The gory details
follow, truncated to remain useful for the clueful (among which I don't
count myself in this particular arena):

$ python setup.py install
running install
running build
running mx_autoconf
gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -I/usr/inc
lude/python2.3 -I/usr/include -c _configtest.c -o _configtes
t.o
success!
removing: _configtest.c _configtest.o

I suspect this might be the reappearance of a system problem that I've
struggled with before on Cygwin, but long enough ago to have forgotten
the details. Something to do with C vs C++ and DLL headers? Anyone?
