He hopefully should not, just rebuilding and reconfiguring an existing source package, with current tools. C difficulties normally occur after compiler upgrades. Most cygport issues revolve around autotools, autoconfig, automake, and require conversations with upstream for joint resolution across systems. If he has difficulties, he could post here, and we'd help. Anyway, he appears to have been successful. RFC IPR section comments "implementations based on these domain parameters may require use of inventions covered by patent rights. In particular, techniques for an efficient arithmetic exploiting the special parameters of the twisted curves may be covered by patents." Certicom Research published a number of papers on efficient Brainpool ECCs. The OP may want to run that by his org's legal IP group. -- Take care.
