OK, here's what's happening.  config.h defines _GNU_SOURCE.  The 
following excerpt from /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h then causes 
__ISO_C_VISIBLE to be defined as 1999, thereby hiding the declaration of 
aligned_alloc:

#ifdef _GNU_SOURCE
[...]
#define	_XOPEN_SOURCE		700
[...]
#endif
[...]
#if _XOPEN_SOURCE - 0 >= 700
[...]
#define	_POSIX_C_SOURCE		200809
[...]
#endif
[...]
#if _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809
[...]
#define	__ISO_C_VISIBLE		1999
[...]
#endif /* _POSIX_C_SOURCE */

Paul, I can ask on the Cygwin list whether this should be changed to be 
more in line with other platforms.  In the meantime, what's the best way 
to deal with this?

Ken
