Before patching newlib, please note that Bruno's patch doesn't work on 32-bit Cygwin. Projects (like emacs and clisp) that use gnulib's unistd module with that patch will get link errors like this:
undefined reference to `_imp__environ' I have no idea why this error occurs only on 32-bit.I've made Bruno aware of the problem, and I'm waiting to see what he comes up with.
