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 patches from upstream to get correct signal handling [in
single threaded mode]:
*
http://sourceforge.net/p/ecls/ecl/ci/c4a538dd278407f91f6105ebbeadf1b371c1124f/
*
http://sourceforge.net/p/ecls/ecl/ci/15033d5a8ad7297e5f76e2e70446b0eea2f2d2a7/
*
http://sourceforge.net/p/ecls/ecl/ci/ec1fe8781a5f137284cc6c0d0cfa6b0cc9b9b291/
We build ECL single threaded to get hopefully more correct signal handling
in library mode and avoid problems with the pexpect interface.
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.
The following spkg includes a more recently released ECL:

Although there seems to be problem with this one to build Maxima.

Comment:
I also had rebase problems once when building Maxima, this was quite
horrible to deal with.
I had to let it fail, rebase and restart from where it failed.
And now I found something more problematic, Maxima does not seem to build
as a library on my Linux system with the 12.12.1 version.
And the Maxima spkg does not detect that (although there should be code to
detect this), if confirmed, this should go on another trac ticket.
