Earnie -
  Apparently Zack tried to get something like this pushed into the
kernel, but for esoteric reasons beyond my ken the fix required by gcc
will break cygwin's fork().  That's why Zack is trying to roll his own
for gcc; gcc doesn't use fork().

See:
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-11/msg01475.html
and thread.
