Yes, that line causes problem because sys_vars doesn't evaluate, but 
that's only because the C module cannot be loaded.

My guess is that the dynamic loader cannot resolve one of the externals 
used in clib.c any longer. Since the compile went ok on your system 
before, it must be a change in a part of your cygwin environment (a 
recent upgrade maybe?). Now the problem is to find out which external is 
causing the problem. Maybe recompiling clib.c with -Wall will tell us 
more. Or maybe it's just a broken update of the cygwin libraries or the 
gcc header files.

Meanwhile I'm going to proceed with the release of 7.3; there's a 
critical bug in 7.2 so I want to get the new version out of the door 
asap. We can always provide a hotfix for Cygwin later.
