Comment (by jpflori):

 I don't really follow you here.
 From what you linked, it seems that using an extern environ won't work
 (unless we allow undefined vars at compile time and hope that at runtime
 something will have properly defined and exported environ and we can link
 to it, which I find bad practice), and that instead one should use
 _NSGetEnviron() (which is available and can be linked in at compile time).

 Even though only defining -no-undefined on Cygwin can only smoothen
 things, I don't think it would be a mistake to define it unconditionally,
 provided we correctly define environ in all situations.
