Uh, no.  That's ancient advice.  There should be no need for those
"steamroller tactics" as Gerrit put it.  The message I was referring to
was much more recent:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg00159.html

After making those changes (and an autoreconf) you can build a shared
library with any kind of manual intervention.  I have used the following
in the past:

autoreconf --install --verbose --force && \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
    --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man \
    --disable-static --without-{debug,readline,libedit,server}

This is with a native server?  Or a Cygwin server?
