Failure building libsigsegv-2.6 [1.7]

[Angelo Graziosi <angelo dot graziosi at alice dot it>]

I am trying to set up Cygwin-1.7 to build Tex Live, but there is a
failure in building libsigsegv-2.6 (which is needed by Clisp-2.48, which
needs for xindy). I follow the suggestions from Tex Live pages and from 
README in TL sources.

On Cygwin-1.5 all works fine.

The simplest way to reproduce the failure is:

1. wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.6.tar.gz
2. tar -xvf libsigsegv-2.6.tar.gz
3. cd libsigsegv-2.6

4. ./configure

Output Substitution:
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating src/sigsegv.h
config.status: creating tests/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands

Now please type 'make' to compile. Good luck.

Now, comparing the output of 'configure', both in Cygwin-1.5 and 1.7,
the only differences are ('-' for 1.5, '+' for 1.7):

-------------------------------------------------------------------
-checking for PAGESIZE in limits.h... no
+checking for PAGESIZE in limits.h... yes

-checking whether a fault handler according to POSIX works... no
+checking whether a fault handler according to POSIX works... yes

-checking for the fault handler specifics... fault-win32.h
+checking for the fault handler specifics... fault-posix.h
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps I am missing some packages. Any idea?

I have attached my installed.db.


Thanks,
Angelo.
