This issue is derived from bpo-1706863.

Can you produce a patch?
(Removing Terry from nosy at his request)
ocean-city commentedon Oct 22, 2010
I used to create the patch
http://bugs.python.org/file11597/experimental_distutils.patch
in bpo-1706863, but cygwin guys wanted this code implemented
in CCygwinCompiler class (See bpo-2445).
I think bpo-2445 should be resolved before.
ocean-city commentedon Oct 22, 2010
Can you port that patch? I don't have cygwin installed now.
merwok commentedon Oct 29, 2010
Okay, let’s reach a conclusion on the other bug before getting back to this one.
ma8ma commentedon Oct 29, 2016
Move version to 3.7 and 2.7, and I updated two patches adding import library type for file searching.
Current Cygwin is used UnixCCompiler, and the compiler has be able to build extension module that doesn't need to library link at build time (e.g. array). And CygwinCCompiler has supported old version compilers, but its haven't maintained on Current Cygwin any longer. Therefore I think there is no necessary that waits solution to bpo-2445 and bpo-18654.
So would you be able to free dependence to bpo-2445, and start to review the patches?
Many thanks.

And updated patch for 2.7
ma8ma commentedon Oct 27, 2017
I opened PR 4153 that is an alternative for PR 4136 (bpo-2445).

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP-632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils.
If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
