error building nginx 1.5.3 on Cygwin

[Kevin Worthington]

Hi Maxim,

Thanks so much. Your patch worked great.

The build was failing without that change.

Is there any way that patch can be incorporated into the main source, so
that it doesn't happen again in 1.5.4?

Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Best regards,
Kevin
