 > R was upgraded at #14008 and merged in sage-5.7.beta2 and now needs math
 functions for long doubles, more precisely logl, which is not provided by
 Cygwin's libm.

 otherwise I guess we're back to installing Cephes on Cygwin.
 Yes, that's where my Cygwin install of 5.7.beta2 got stuck, too.

 as a temporary plug, we can do something like
 {{{
 #define logl log
 }}}
 in the right place.
 Cygwin has a weird long double size - 12 bytes, so in that sense it's not
 as huge loss of precision as for sane platforms.
