Help compiling pkgconfig-0.14.0

[Maya <EscalanteCanada netscape net>]

I have just downloaded gtk+-2.2, in a Win98 Intel P3 machine. Using 
cygwin gcc 3.2.x,I have compiled libpng and libtiff libraries without 
any problems, but although pkgconfig-0.14.0 produces no errors when I 
'./configure' it, at compile time I get the following error message:
====================================================================
gstrfuncs.c: In function 'g_strsignal':
gstrfuncs.c:674: error: conflicting types for 'strsignal'
/usr/include/string.h: 75: error: previous declaration of 'strsignal'
gstrfuncs.c:674: warning: extern declaration of 'strsignal' doesn't 
match global one.

====================================================================
What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.
