I really don't know which (signal.h or libpng) is okay (or none). Will someone investigate this?

I have the impression that the current cygwin header behaviour
is correct as siginfo_t is an extension POSIX.1-2008.

True, but I missed that struct sigaction (which is correctly guarded as POSIX.1-1990) uses siginfo_t. This part needs to be guarded as POSIX.1b-1993 without breaking the struct, as is done in glibc.

In theory "_GNU_SOURCE" should be defined by default

No, I'll fix this in the header shortly, along with updating libpng.
