Comment:
Changed my mind about reporting upstream. According to
[https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15607 this issue, and
a few others] it seems they don't want to officially support Cygwin builds
and will close Cygwin issues as wontfix. This is also environment
specific. It only affects you if you're building sage on a Cygwin
filesystem that is mounted with noacl. So maybe this doesn't affect most
users.
I still think the patch is worth keeping for the sake of least resistance
on trying to build Sage on Cygwin. This was a very mysterious and hard to
track down problem.
