What is this patch trying to fix/implement?
Why do you want to see it implemented?


This error code is used in sound-related code which Yaakov is trying to
port to Cygwin.  After a discussion on the cygwin-patches mailing list,
we decided to add this error code.

Ouch ... bad decision.

Patch applied.

Please ifdef __CYGWIN__ it or revert it.

newlib should stay with well established standards and not be polluted with underdocumented, proprietary extensions.
