Hello!
I made this discovery whilst building the urjtag program from its SVN trunk:
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/urjtag/urjtag/trunk/urjtag/src/tap'
CC tap.lo
CC register.lo
CC state.lo
CC chain.lo
CC detect.lo
detect.c: In function `find_record':

The fix, temporarily as it happens was to add to the configure script
this one: --disable-werror . The chap who suggested it also suggested
that I complain here. It was described as an isspace() has an issue,
I won't use the term he used.
The code can be found at http://urjtag.sf.net as it happens.
Basically the program supporter there wants the people here for Cygwin
to, ah, fix their C library. I'm not convinced that's necessary, but
which C library is used here? And what could be fixed?
