 Despite this, Sage builds.

 IIRC, because we (still) have some special-casing on Cygwin w.r.t. at
 least (just?) the (`long double`) gamma functions.

 To repeat Karl-Dieter's question:  What is Cephes then needed for at all
 [on e.g. FreeBSD]?

 I.e., we should probably check for those functions Cephes provides (and
 Sage needs) [unless we're on FreeBSD where Cephes gets built anyway, or
 `SAGE_PORT` is set].
