No, since it is not something I have ever looked at. I guess the best long-term solution is to try to get the Cygwin developers to fix that. Has anyone on the Sage/Cygwin port reported it as a bug or RFE? In a private email, Peter told me there were at least 3 forks of cephes. The link I gave, which is a copy of the missing C file, is yet another fork. It may be possible to just use cephes from another source. But I'm mainly saying I would be suspicious of what is in Sage, as cephes fails to build due to a missing C source file. But that failure is not obvious, as there is no error checking that 'make' worked or not.
