New description:

 On my 1.7.16 installation of Cygwin, the ecl spkg does not build because
 it defines unconditionaly _WINSOCKAPI_ in h/ecl-cmp.h which then prevents
 the definition of fd_set in /usr/include/sys/types.h.
 I guess this is harmless on Linux, intended on Windows, but on Cygwin this
 breaks the build of ECL.

 The proposed spkg patches h/ecl-cmp.h so that _WINSOCKAPI_ is not defined
 on CYGWIN.
 This has been merged upstream:
 https://sourceforge.net/p/ecls/ecl/ci/07c4ab7db83eda2eed7fa4a5ddeec2e28c7eb58b/

 Moreover comes a patch to get correct signal handling in single threaded
 mode.
 This is reported upstream:
 http://sourceforge.net/p/ecls/bugs/216/

 Try spkg at
 http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jpflori/ecl-12.7.1.p0.spkg
 which includes upstream version 12.7.1 and the above fixes.

Comment:

 I had a look into the signal issue and came up with a patch (submitted
 upstream).
 Inbetween, here comes an updated spkg based on the latest sage spkg:
 http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jpflori/ecl-12.7.1.p0.spkg
 containing patches for Cygwin and the signal problem.

 The patch to the Sage library is no longer necessary (or seems so on my
 install), must have been done somewhere else.
