  Indirectly; the actual problem is that an internal winsup/cygwin header by
the name 'search.h' is overriding the desired internal newlib/libc 'search.h'
header during compilation of newlib/libc.  There's not intrinsically a problem
with newlib and cygwin each having a separate 'search.h' just so long as each
one, while compiling, finds its own one first in the include search path - in
this particular case, files from .../winsup/cygwin/include should not come
earlier in the search path than files from .../newlib/libc/include while
compiling newlib (but they should while compiling cygwin).
