Why *would* anyone in gcc care about a library problem? I believe that
they actually mentioned that the below was a GNU extension. But,
regardless, the problem has nothing to do with gcc.

cygwin != glibc. However, since cygwin uses newlib, and the people in
the newlib project are a cooperative bunch, maybe if you submitted a
