According to Suhaib:
************
I do not know about /usr/local, but X11R6 needs a recompilation or you will

get a __ctype__ undefined references when linking, uncurses work from
B20.1.
You can get X11r6.4 for snapshot from my web site at siddiqi.webjump.com.
Most of the X11 and motif stuff for cygwin snapshots is available there.
Jpeg, tiff
and png will need recompilation.
************

I guess that signifies a bug in cygwin1.dll?
