Most packages already have their cygports and patches available under:

	https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/giflib/tree/giflib.cygport

which you can retrieve with a git clone from the repo:

	https://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/giflib

Cygwin Setup installs from tar files, produced under .../dist/, so try
... -a x86_64 -L -X -l `cygpath -am $PWD/giflib-5.2.2-1.x86_64/dist/` ...
but that may not work as the structure expected is normally:

	.../{x86_64,noarch}/release/PACKAGE.../

so you may have to cp -[rR] .../dist/gitflib under .../x86_64/release/ and 
specify that as your local archive directory.
