The problem is that HAVE_GAS_SECTIONS_DIRECTIVE gets defined (or not) in
../../gcc/auto-host.h, but you are testing it before including
auto-host.h, either directly or via i386-asm.h.  So if i386-asm.h
depends upon HAVE_GAS_SECTIONS_DIRECTIVE first being defined then it is
a circular dependency.

In its current form, cygwin.S would never define USE_GAS_CFI_DIRECTIVES
prior to including i386-asm.h and also never emit
        .cfi_sections    .debug_frame
and rather or not USE_GAS_CFI_DIRECTIVES ends up being defined to 1 or 0
depends upon the test of __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM in i386-asm.h.

So this area is new for me, but I don't understand why we're testing
HAVE_GAS_SECTIONS_DIRECTIVE in cygwin.S and __GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM
when included from one of the stubs.  Is this an error, or a lack of my
understanding or both? :)

And it's possible that I failed to test something correctly before
presuming it to be available, although I *think* the test for .hidden is
good.

Thanks for your work on this.  If we need to test for CFI directives
differently when being included from cygwin.S, maybe we can just define
a simple cpp macro to indicate this and let i386-asm.h encapsulate the
implementation of it (e.g., testing HAVE_GAS_SECTIONS_DIRECTIVE or
__GCC_HAVE_DWARF2_CFI_ASM as appropriate).

Ultimately, the proper cleanup will be moving these tests out of
{gcc,libgcc}/configure.ac and into .m4 files in the root config
directory so that we don't uglify them with massive copy & pastes. 
These tests are also fairly complex as there are a lot of dependencies. 
m4 isn't my strong suite, but I can look at this after we're out of code
freeze.
