But it is pretty useless to have a function declared in a Cygwin header
which is exported from cygwin1.dll in a MinGW application since the
linker doesn't link against libcygwin.a.  You can do this as long as the
functions are identical, but what for?  If this function is available
for MinGW then there is also a MinGW header declaring this function.
If the function() is not available for MinGW, then your application will
not link anyway.
