Yes. I considered this as part of porting zsh to a platform.

Not my original scheme. It always gets the right one because it
relies on the compiler to find it, not configure.
The signal.h on a cygwin system can be pretty much anywhere. On my
machine it is at
/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/i586-cygwin32/include/sys/signal.h.
Also, if the point is to support cross compiling, I don't think the
fixed list of header locations in configure.in will cut it. It will
likely pick up the signal.h for the host system, not the target
(though, I have to admit I've never cross compiled from one unix to
another -- maybe the same set of headers is typically used?).
It took me a while to figure out that zsh's "kill -l" listed only ZERR
because configure wasn't finding my signal.h. (maybe I should
consider this part of porting zsh to a new platform! :-)

Fortunately, cygwin lets me mount the path mentioned above to
/usr/include. This lets configure find the right signal.h.
And, what really counts, it creates a correct signames.c!
If we stick with the improved AWK based scheme, I'll add a Cygwin
section to Etc/MACHINES describing how people should create their
/usr/include and that they should do it before running configure.
