Your words:

* The memory models work differently in gcc an Clang. Gcc with a medium or
large memory model is using 64-bit address tables to access a variable in a
different C/CPP file. Clang with a medium or large memory model is using
64-bit addresses not only for external variables, but also for local static
data. This includes floating point constants, string constants, array
initializers, jump tables, global variables, and more.

That's not Cygwin's fault, is it?  You're asking to change the system to
pamper the compiler, rather than asking the compiler to work better for
a given system.  That's not how this usually works.=20=20

Make sure that clang uses the medium memory model by default.  If clang
is doing this inefficiently, clang needs fixing.
