Thank you, Igor. Good suggestion.

Tried adding -fleading-underscore to the compile flags. No change.

Tried adding -fno-leading-underscore to the compile flags. Squillions of
link errors. Not really surprising.

My understanding is that under cygwin, timezone is a function, not a global
variable. _timezone is the equivalent global variable. See
https://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200203/msg00119.html and
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg01324.html.

I can't find anything in the makefile that would upset name mangling.
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -g -O $(DFLAGS) -Wall
DFLAGS = -DSYSV -DHAS_ITIMER -DHASSELECT
LIBS = -lm -lc

It's really strange that there is a problem with only one symbol, and that
one symbol is defined in libc.a.

Campbell.
