I didn't have to define BUILD_BROKEN_NEDIT, but I don't think that
check_lin_tif was being built in the default build for Cygwin, so the
version of LessTif is not being checked. When I built it manually it
showed that 0.93.91 is an untested version, but not a version explicitly
known to be broken.

I think it would probably be unprofessional to comment on that publicly. ;)
