newlib 1.12.0 compiled under different cygwin versions

[Craig Edwards]

When mallocr.c gets compiled using the current cygwin devel base (gcc  
3.3.3), the following symbols are undefined (presumably linked in from a  
Win32 DLL):

         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, in a slightly older cygwin (using gcc 3.3.1), the undefined  
symbols are:

         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
         U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now, these functions are declared in winbase.h (included indirectly by  
mallocr.c) as follows:

         #ifndef WINBASEAPI
         #ifdef __INSIDE_CYGWIN__
         #define WINBASEAPI
         #else
         #define WINBASEAPI DECLSPEC_IMPORT
         #endif
         WINBASEAPI PVOID WINAPI VirtualAlloc(PVOID,DWORD,DWORD,DWORD);
         ...
I can see that currently it thinks these functions are to be imported from  
a DLL, but why did it used to behave differently?  The reason I care is  
that my XBOX port of newlib provides its own implementation of those  
functions that get *statically* linked in to libc.a (which used to work  
just fine until I upgraded to a later version of cygwin).  Does anyone  
have any theories?

Many thanks.
