That's strange.  On Re-examination, it builds here, too, even without 
the added include.  I.e. effectively it took only a `touch` of wcwidth.c 
to fix this.

Could there be a problem with the dependency handling in the newlib 
auto-foo which caused changes to header files to fail triggering a rebuild?

And while I'm at it: what _is_ the dependency handling here, anyway?  I 
can't seem to find any.  Which could indeed explain the problem.

None that I'm aware of.  The only differences in may sandbox prior to 
occurence of the failure were in winsup/doc Makefile.in and configure. 
Other than that it's a straight-up

   ../newlib-cygwin/configure --prefix=/home/hbbro/prg/cygwin/inst

build.
