It's a bug in newlib (Cygwin's C library) math.h header. The variable
signgam was changed to a macro, but the header file doesn't show that.

Please add the following 2 lines *before* signgam is used in the sources
(use grep to find out), and if it works, I'll work up a patch after
I figure out the right way to do this. 

extern __IMPORT struct _reent reent_data;
#define signgam reent_data._new._reent._gamma_signgam
