The minimum allowing that lives in https://github.com/Windows-on-ARM-Experiments/newlib-cygwin/compare/upstream...aarch64-patch-series1-v1 branch. All the changes, we've developed so far are in https://github.com/Windows-on-ARM-Experiments/newlib-cygwin/commits/woarm64/ branch, which is our "develop", and few WIP feature branches in the same repository.

Just change `PLATFORM` variable from `w64-mingw32` to `pc-cygwin`, `RUN_BOOTSTRAP` to `1` and `UPDATE_SOURCES` to `1` in https://github.com/Windows-on-ARM-Experiments/mingw-woarm64-build/blob/main/.github/scripts/config.sh (those work as environment variables too).

Thank you for all the work :)

Do you have any prototype binaries?
