As you all know, ECL does not work 100% well in Cygwin. The failing
component is the function run-program, which due to Cygwin's constraints has
to rely on fork(). This breaks every now and then and prevents ECL from
properly building other programs, since it is a key function to invoke the
compiler.
I have changed this. ECL in cygwin will now rely on stdlib.h's function
system(). This represents a step backwards but it seems to solve the problem
of building Maxima, but it does not solve entirely the problem of invoking
other programs with redirected input/output.
