Subject:	smake compilation fails at malloc() checking

When trying to compile smake on cygwin x86 it fails at the step of checking for malloc:

"Checking if we may not define our own malloc()..."

And it stalls there consuming some cpu. The developer suggests it's a cygwin bug that was introduced recently. The steps to reproduce it are:

- Download smake from https://sourceforge.net/projects/s-make/files/latest/download

- Extract, cd into the folder and make
