    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.
