Hi, 

Before writing any formal bug report I thought I might ask first whether the 
problem I am seeing is something that can be even fixed from Cygwin's side. 

The issue has to do with the compilation of Python binary packages for Python 
inside Cygwin (Python installed as a Cygwin package as opposed to Python for 
Windows).  
The problem starts to show as gcc warnings: "[…] redeclared without dllimport 
attribute: previous dllimport ignored", and ends with linkers errors such as: 
"relocation truncated to fit [...] against undefined symbol".

I am guessing the problem might actually lie within the Python sources itself 
but I am not entirely sure.

So is this some issue that is even worth further research and filing a bug 
report here?
