Look, please, at ecos math.h:160
#ifdef CYGSEM_LIBM_THREAD_SAFE_GAMMA_FUNCTIONS
// FIXME: these need to be documented and signgam mentioned as non-ISO
// This returns the address of the signgam variable used by the gamma*() and
// lgamma*() functions
externC int *
cyg_libm_get_signgam_p( void );
#define signgam (*cyg_libm_get_signgam_p())
I think you will get it. Also, the next point to look on
libm.cdl:125:cdl_option CYGSEM_LIBM_THREAD_SAFE_GAMMA_FUNCTIONS
IMHO, the option's description attribute is the very informative.
