I still get failures here, for Cygwin 1.7.x:

Starting test_cond .../bin/sh: line 5:  3504 Aborted                 (core 
dumped)
FAIL: test-cond.exe
...
Starting test_lock .../bin/sh: line 5:  3500 Aborted                 (core 
dumped)
FAIL: test-lock.exe
...
Starting test_tls .../bin/sh: line 5:  2560 Aborted                 (core 
dumped)
FAIL: test-tls.exe

See http://autobuild.josefsson.org/gnulib/log-201002171652277193000.txt

Should m4/threadlib.m4 disable threads on cygwin 1.7.x too?  There is a
1.[0-5].* regexp in there now.
