I added an initialization of signgam to Cygwin and then modified the
cygwin.din to export signgam.

This has nothing at all to do with pthreads other than it causes the
variable to be used.  To fix the plotutils code I did:

$ diff -u3pb ./specfun.c.old ../ode/specfun.c
--- ./specfun.c.old     Tue Jan 23 15:56:17 2001
+++ ../ode/specfun.c    Tue Jan 23 15:56:26 2001
@@ -82,7 +82,9 @@ static double lgamneg ____P((double x));
 static double lgampos ____P((double x));
 #else  /* not NO_SYSTEM_GAMMA, we link in vendor code */
 #define SIGNGAM signgam
+#ifndef __CYGWIN__
 extern int SIGNGAM;
+#endif
 #endif
 double f_gamma ____P((double x));

This leaves the definition in the header.

I haven't gotten that far.  I don't have all of the X libraries in place
yet.  But, I'm getting there.

Cheers,
Earnie.
