smake compilation fails at malloc() checking

[Aaron Schneider]

> When trying to compile smake on cygwin x86 it fails at the step of checking for malloc:
>
> "Checking if we may not define our own malloc()..."
>
> And it stalls there consuming some cpu. The developer suggests it's a cygwin bug that was introduced recently. The steps to reproduce it are:
>
> - Download smake from https://sourceforge.net/projects/s-make/files/latest/download
>
> - Extract, cd into the folder and make
