Subject: building libpng-1.6.29 fails with error in signal.h

Hello,

I tried to compile libpng-1.6.29 and failed at first. I obtain:

/tmp/lcl/uxl/make/bin/make  all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/D/Users/dexcoff1/dexcoff1/cyglcl/tmp/libpng/libpng-1.6.29'
depbase=`echo png.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\

mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Plo
libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -g -O2 -MT png.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/png.Tpo -c png.c  -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC -o .libs/png.o

Further investigation shows that /usr/include/cygwin/signal.h has been
modified recently (June) and that if i move "struct sigaction" out of the
scope, the problem goes away and libpng is works now:

*** /usr/include/cygwin/signal.h.vanilla        Mon Jul  3 14:07:58 2017
--- /usr/include/cygwin/signal.h        Tue Jul  4 15:53:28 2017
***************
*** 318,324 ****
  
  typedef void (*_sig_func_ptr)(int);
  
! #if __POSIX_VISIBLE
  
  struct sigaction
  {
--- 318,324 ----
  
  typedef void (*_sig_func_ptr)(int);
  
! #if __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 999999
  
  struct sigaction
  {


I really don't know which (signal.h or libpng) is okay (or none). Will someone investigate this?

Regards,

Denis Excoffier.
