Why *would* anyone in gcc care about a library problem?  I believe that
they actually mentioned that the below was a GNU extension.  But,
regardless, the problem has nothing to do with gcc.

cygwin != glibc.  However, since cygwin uses newlib, and the people in
the newlib project are a cooperative bunch, maybe if you submitted a
patch, they'd consider adding it.  The mailing list is newlib at sources
dot redhat dot com.
