It's from this chunk of code:
#if defined(__CYGWIN__)
if (strcmp(ttyname(fileno(stdout)), "/dev/conout") != 0) {
printf("please \"$CYGWIN=notty\"\n");
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
#endif
The ttyname() function gives the same result as a command-line 'tty'
would. Running in screen you would certainly not have some variation
of /dev/console as your tty. So it breaks. Lacking any better idea
of what it's trying to prevent, I'd just remove that chunk of code.
