I can no longer compile C code linked to the Openwindows/xview-devel
toolkit using gcc in Cygwin 32 bits, installed on Windows 7 32 or 64

fine in August 2015 but by mid September 2015 it was failing on the
same code.
I can reproduce this by compiling C code from the xview-examples
package (from e.g., Debian i386
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/xview-examples ), to eliminate any
issues with my specific code. For example,
$ cd usr/share/doc/xviewg/examples/panels
$ cc -O -I/usr/openwin/include simple_panel.c -L/usr/openwin/lib
-lxview -lolgx -lX11 -o simple_panel

There now appears to be an issue with the definition of ucontext_t in
xview-devel with respect to Cygwin. If I manually edit
/usr/openwin/include/xview/base.h and change line 70 from undef to
#define SYSV_UCONTEXT
... the example above then compiles fine.
I cannot find any reference to recent Cygwin updates related to the
definition of ucontext_t
