Hmm, on my normal cygwin development system, stackovf doesn't get
compiled, since the OS doesn't provide enough hooks sigstack or
sigaltstack.  I will have to look into this further, but I have an idea,
quoting from your configure log.

Try rerunning configure to disable sigstack, in order to force the
implementation to favor the standardized sigaltstack above the deprecated
sigstack.  And this time, don't use -Werror, so we can see how far
everything gets.

$ ac_cv_func_sigstack=no ./configure
$ make CFLAGS='-Wall'

If that compiles warning-free, then I will see about changing stackovf to
favor sigaltstack over sigstack; I can find a Linux machine to test on.
