I suggested to put the work-around into config.site, precisely to
solve this. Assuming such a config.site is made part of the core
Cygwin distribution, whenever sigsetjmp starts working, config.site
should be updated. So a user which upgrades to a newer version of
Cygwin has this issue magically taken care of during the upgrade.
