Re: _ctype_ not found in cygwin1.dll

[Andre Bleau <andre dot bleau at courriel dot polymtl dot ca>]

After I upgraded to Cygwin 1.1.x I had the same problem while linking with 
a library I compiled under Cygwin B20.1. Some function inside the library 
was including <ctype.h> for the use of isupper, islower... These are macros 
using a
global variable of the cygwin library named _ctype_ whose declaration in 
ctype.h has changed between B20.1 and 1.1.x to now include the 
__declspec(dllimport) attribute. You will have to recompile the modules of 
your libmysqlclient.a that include <ctype.h>.

Hope this helps.
