No, actually it's in stdio.h that's part of MinGW (and is installed as
part of Cygwin only because Cygwin's gcc has a built-in MinGW
cross-compiler).

It's in MinGW.  It's not supported by the Cygwin community.  The program
you build with it is not a Cygwin program.

So you're building a pure Windows executable.

Because you're that person. :-)  Seriously, you're building a pure Windows
executable that uses MSVCRT for its C runtime.  If someone attempted to
build a Cygwin program that used wfopen, they would fail (with the above
error).
