Comment (by kcrisman):

 > Because I would not not understand why the fixes of #9167 could fix your
 problem.
 > What I did in #9167 is just renaming some files produced when building
 ECL, and more precisely the most relevant thing is moving lib/ecl.dll to
 bin/cygecl.dll and creating a new lib/libecl.dll.a.

 and libecl.dll.a) and the customary one (ecl.dll), maybe somthing got
 mixed up and lead to a segfault, but that's just a guess.
 I see, that's what you were saying.  I can believe that having the new
 files along with the usual one would do that, since it was similar
 conflicts that led to other messes on Cygwin.  I had compiled it first
 with the package from #9167 before trying all of these.  So your diagnosis
 that #9167 wasn't solving a problem, but that doing these was causing it,
 seems reasonable.

 If so, could this cause problems on upgrade on Cygwin?  Not that we are
 expecting Cygwin users to do upgrades necessarily.

 Anyway, I'll try to get by that machine on Monday and see how it did over
 the weekend with the compile from scratch with 12.12.1!  Then we can test
 it quick on some Macs (you have Linux covered, I guess) and hopefully get
 this positive review as well.
