some mitigation appears required as under mingw package build, stdout is

Yeah, that seems like a secondary effect.
Uh, I'm unclear what's happening there to make it hang there with no output,
and can't immediately reproduce it locally.
Do you have some more information which leads to the "stdout is closed"
theory, or is that just speculation?
Only happens so far on mingw...gettext build and both times had same effect
but different amount of output in log (buffering amount) nearing end of
config, as also under GH Scallywag; I also run my own build log time stamper
so I can spot hangs during builds.
A major difference between gettext and mingw builds is mingw does not run
autoreconf, so the upstream scripts are used as is.
On my local system, my timestamped package build process log stopped
progressing, but .../log/...compile.log and other logs continued to be
appended, so I could follow with xtail.
Even defining AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.72 on GH Scallwag the process log still stops
after creating config.status!
Yeah, this seems like something else is going on.
When I started a run using 'cygport --debug', there's nothing output by cygport
itself after the configure run is started.
So this makes me think that maybe configure is somehow getting into a spin and
never finishing? (Maybe you could confirm that by looking at what processes are
active when it hangs?)
I've tried a few adjustments to my environment, but I still can't reproduce this
locally.
Drat! I can no longer get a local failure any more!
With or *without* AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.72 ;^<
