fix <ctype.h> bugs on 64-bit machine

This change seems to introduce a regression if there is an assignment inside
the ctype macro argument, e.g.
#include <ctype.h>
int main()
{
int c;
int t = isspace(c = ' ');
}
after this ctype.h change, with the current cygwin gcc4, compilation fails
'error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment'.
A trivial patch to fix this attached.
