These changes are leading to lots of errors when building emacs:

/usr/include/cygwin/signal.h:178:3: error: unknown type name ‘pthread_attr_t’

/usr/include/cygwin/signal.h:213:3: error: unknown type name ‘pid_t’

/usr/include/cygwin/signal.h:230:2: error: unknown type name ‘timer_t’

/usr/include/sys/signal.h:211:6: error: #error You need the winsup sources or a cygwin installation to compile the cygwin version of newlib.

/usr/include/sys/signal.h:214:5: error: unknown type name ‘pthread_t’

/usr/include/sys/time.h:104:34: error: unknown type name ‘u_int’

[... and many more]
