This is not. The only two implicit declaration are of type int
and declaring them changes noting.

I don't find any case.

The hard issue is that only cygwin 64 bit seems impacted,
while other 64 platform are fine,
and that the crash is well deep X libraries during the
destruction phase of graphical elements

as the X graphics elements are not correctly destroyed in sequence.

If someone more knowledgeable in X is interested I can provide the 
program and a test case.
