Isn't this a bug of newlib? Try following code.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	printf("%d\n", getchar());
	printf("%d\n", feof(stdin));
	printf("%d\n", getchar());
	return 0;
}

If you press Ctrl-D at the first getchar(), the second getchar()
does not return EOF while it does in linux.

The following patch seems to resolve the issue.

diff --git a/newlib/libc/stdio/refill.c b/newlib/libc/stdio/refill.c
index ccedc7af7..843163b7e 100644

However, I am not sure what this #ifndef __CYGWIN__ is for.
