Seems like it would be useful to figure out exactly why it's failing.
I don't personally have a problem with just forcing use of our own
erand48 on Cygwin; it's not a lot of code and it would make the behavior
of that build more like the MSVC build. But it's curious that such a
simple library function is seemingly broken on Cygwin ... especially
when their random() and srandom() evidently work.
