That's right, but that's usually not a problem because the pthread
types are included via sys/types.h. That means, a simple testcase
like
#include <signal.h>
main(){}
isn't sufficient to trigger the above, neither with nor without
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600. And there's the fact that emacs is part
of the Cygwin distro, so it seems you're using a non-standard
setting somewhere.
We could add #include sys/_pthreadtypes.h to cygwin/signal.h
unconditioanlly, but it would be interesting to know how the
above include chain works, and why sys/_pthreadtypes.h isn't
picked up.
