I could not reproduce the issue.

I followed the following steps.

1) wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl9.0.2-src.tar.gz
2) tar xf tcl9.0.2-src.tar.gz
3) cd tcl9.0.2/unix
4) ./configure && make -j8

tcl 9.0.2 was successfully built.

I'm using cygwin 3.7.0-0.277.g45f9b4841373.x86_64 (Test) and
gcc 15.1.1+20250726-0.1 (Test) on windows 11.

I also tested with gcc 16.0.0+20250727-0.1 (Test) and the result
is the same.

Could you please confirm the issue happens with cygwin gcc package?
