Hi -
The newest version of cygwin with python 2.7.12-1 fails when pip
installing packages that require compilation. For example, pycrypto
fails:
$ pip install pycrypto
Collecting pycrypto
.......

----------------------------------------
I can fix these errors by changing __BSD_VISIBLE from 1 to 0 in
/usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h. Here's a patch:
--- pyconfig.h 2016-11-20 09:38:22.434174700 -0500
+++ pyconfig-bsd-not-visible.h 2016-11-20 09:38:05.391993200 -0500

-#define __BSD_VISIBLE 1

#ifndef __CHAR_UNSIGNED__
And here's a link to a script that changes the value in one shot:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/thorrr/271058eeb5f1903213938f89fcbc3a73/raw/15026396047b61102826a8dd92ea591155573f1d/pyconfig-fix.sh
I can confirm this makes several packages I use often work correctly
but I don't know what the other consequences of changing this variable
are.
