Undefined symbol errors when compiling for cygwin/x64

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 643

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download & extract sources
2. ./configure --enable-frame-pointers  LIBS=-lpthread
3. make

I would expect it to compile when following the instructions in INSTALL. The latter
says to specify --disable-shared because cygwin doesn't support weak symbols... which
I think is not actually true any more (and weak symbols don't work properly with static
linking). The --enable-frame-pointer is needed to avoid errors about missing libunwind.
The LIBS=lpthread allows test cases to compile (otherwise they also fail because pthread
functions are missing). I also had to change casting in maybe_threads.cc to avoid errors
and warnings about differing size of int and pthread_key_t (which is a pointer on cygwin).


The root of the issue seems to lurk in the black magic invoked by maybe_threads.cc

Using gperftools-2.1.1, 64-bit cygwin on Windows 7, gcc-4.8.3
