Hi Cygwin fans,

Version info:
Windows 10:10.0.19043 N/A Build 19043
Cygwin: CYGWIN_NT-10.0  3.3.4(0.341/5/3) 2022-01-31 19:35 x86_64 Cygwin

I successfully compiled diction and style from this tar file, but with errors:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diction/diction-1.11.tar.gz

Diction and style both work, but I am looking for suggestions for how
to clean up the compile errors in lines 48 - 60 below:
