Condition variations aren't implemented in the current 1.1.8-2 release
of cygwin. Try the latest snapshot.

I've implemented pthread_attr_setdetachstate, but I think it's bundled
in with a patch that affects newlib so it's not available yet. See
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-03/msg01202.html for a clean
workaround.

Note: if your "minor" modificationsincluded defining macros or
prototypes to replace system functions that aren't present, I'm not
surprised you got these link errors.
