Thanks for the quick response Akim, will try that out ASAP!

The only information I forgot to include was that I copied your patch to 
revert the autoconf upgrade from 2.68 to 2.71 as Cygwin currently only 
has up to 2.69.

Spent part of yesterday there!

Will later be trying to rebuild fatal-signal.c in the released version 
with -E to see what the expansions of gl_lock_lock, pthread_in_use, and 
the value of glthread_in use look like.
