  The copy on my system doesn't make any 'suggestions' at all.  It just has
a bunch of feature-test macros enclosed in #ifdef-guards.

  That's because adding a #define to your code doesn't actually turn cygwin
into the RTEMS operating system.  If you #defined __svr4__, it wouldn't turn
your PC into a SunOS box either.

  Merely #defining a feature test macro doesn't automagically implement the
feature if cygwin doesn't already have it.  It just makes the feature test
invalid.

    cheers,
