GCL and dependencies on cygwin

Greetings, and thank you all for your work on this system.

1) I am preparing a set of GCL releases, both of which basically work on
latest cygwin, but the signal handling seems to have been recently
broken.  Specifically, GCL can trap and handle SIGFPE when these
exceptions are enabled.  Under gdb, the signal appears, but then a
SIGTRAP is caught in kernel.dll under secure_getenv(), and the handler
is never called.  Thoughts?

2) I am considering volunteering as a maintainer.  I see the docs
describing the procedure.  I maintain some packages for Debian, and
wondering if there was any simplification in avoiding duplicate work
here.

Take care,
