We have *exactly* the same problem with the Cygwin port. One possibility would be to put a #ifdef around those 3 lines in order to remove them. Note that I think this problem only appears when building the *Sage* library, not when building PARI. So we would pass -Dsomething to Cython so those lines don't get included when building the Sage library. What do you think? If this seems reasonable for you, I think I can easily implement it (since, again, it is needed for the Cygwin port).
