Add gl_cv_have_weak=no to cygconf?
Are you suggesting maintainers should do this, or are you talking about
patching cygport, like this:
diff --git a/cygclass/autotools.cygclass b/cygclass/autotools.cygclass

Normally in a regular/autotools build the maintainer appends these
overrides to:
CYGCONF_ARGS=...gl_cv_have_weak=guessing\ no
or to:
src_compile() {
cd ${S}
cygautoreconf
cd ${B}
cygconf ... gl_cv_have_weak=guessing\ no
cygmake
}
