cygwin-1.7.28 getpwent header declaration changes ?

Thu Feb 6 07:29:00 GMT 2014

on cygwin-1.7.28 64 bit but not on cygwin-1.7.27,
(only system difference) compiling octave I see:
----------------------------------------------------------------
/pub/devel/octave/octave-3.8.0-2/src/octave-3.8.0/liboctave/system/oct-passwd.cc
:114:25: error: '::getpwent' has not been declared
 return octave_passwd (::getpwent (), msg);
 ^

octave_passwd::setpwent(std::string&)':

 }
 ^
Makefile:8702: recipe for target 
'system/system_libsystem_la-oct-passwd.lo' fail
ed
make[4]: *** [system/system_libsystem_la-oct-passwd.lo] Error 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
the piece of code is a very simple:
-----------------------------------------------
octave_passwd
octave_passwd::getpwent (std::string& msg)
{
#if defined HAVE_GETPWENT
 msg = std::string ();
 return octave_passwd (::getpwent (), msg);
#else
 msg = NOT_SUPPORTED ("getpwent");
 return octave_passwd ();
#endif
}
----------------------------------------
Is something slightly changed in the relative system headers ?
