Revert "Bug #6247: Fix build on Cygwin"
libtool requires the '-no-undefined' flag in order to create shared
libraries on PE/COFF platforms (Cygwin/MinGW); on other platforms this
flag has no effect.
The problem with libXfont is that PE weak symbols do not behave exactly
as they do on ELF platforms. Since PE binaries (both executables and
libraries) must have all symbols resolved at link time, there is no way
for the real symbols in xserver to "displace" those in libXfont at
runtime, so the result is that libXfont uses its stubs, which do
nothing, and xserver ends up unable to find its fonts.
Solving this will require either significant changes to libXfont or some
major improvement to the toolchain to handle this case. Until that
happens, removing '-no-undefined' will result in a static-only library
on these platforms, which is the only currently working solution.
