There is a patch pending to binutils that would allow this to work
as-is. It seems to work okay, however, we're still waiting on Egor's
legal paperwork -- an unfortunately, the only discussion has been
between Egor and I; no other binutils-list readers have commented.
I'd really rather not see a return of declspec()...
Perhaps temporarily, we could use a workaround in both guile and
guile-client code:
in guile, new functions (with the obvious implementations):
#ifdef __CYGWIN__
SCM get_scm_sys_protects(int index);
void set_scm_sys_protects(SCM s, int index);
#endif
and in client code, replace assignments and reads with the appropriate
function call, guarded by #ifdef __CYGWIN__ ?
It's even possible that the guile folks would accept this sort of
change, as an extension to their API (rather than actually *replacing*
direct access to the array, which works just fine on all other platforms).
Then, it would be up to client programs to choose direct access or
get/set...
