I just did a quick test, and it looks promising.  I removed all Cygwin-specific 
code from configure.ac and Makefile.am (see attached patch), and it then built 
on 64-bit Cygwin.  Here's the result of 'make check':

No one is; it's orphaned.

So it seems that you would be the obvious person to maintain it, if you have the 
time.  If you don't have the time, I'd be willing to ITA it just to get it into 
the 64-bit distro.  But in that case I'd appreciate it if you would review my 
build after I send the ITA, since you actually know something about libsigsegv, 
and I don't.
