AFAICT the regression is in Cygwin. The buildfarm passes because it's
using an oldish Cygwin release, 1.7.7 rather than the current 1.7.27. I
have brought the regression the athe attention of the Cygwin people in
the past, but without response.

The build system changes have slipped off my radar, unfortunately. Not
sure when I can get to them.
