When you are building another version of a Cygwin package, if you have not done so already, it is worth installing cygport, all its dependencies, other build tools suggested in the package maintainer docs, and use those to download the latest Cygwin package source, in case there are patches provided which make the package build or run better under Cygwin. It is then easy to create another package-version directory into which you can copy the .cygport file and modify it to download, build, test, and install the other version of the package, optionally with any provided patches if still required. -- Take care.
