  You really need to read some manuals, as you wouldn't have to do things like
this if you had read about the -dM option.  (You also wouldn't have led
yourself up the garden path about mingw if you had read about -mno-cygwin).
Hint:

 gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null

  No it isn't.  Your assumption that the two have to be in some way related is
silly.  As is attempting to parse the output from "gcc -v" to detect a given
target rather than using one of the predefined macros, which is what they are
for and how it is supposed to be done.  The output from "gcc -v" is for
*humans* to read, and version strings are allowed to have free-format text and
no guarantees are provided regarding the content or formatting of that text or
how it may or may not change in the future.

>I suspect something has changed affecting the CYGWIN test in glob.c

  First you said that __CYGWIN__ is still valid.  Then you think that
something has changed affecting the '#ifdef __CYGWIN__' test in glob.c.  Since
you acknowledge that __CYGWIN__ is still valid, presumably you believe that
#ifdef has been changed to only succeed if a symbol is not defined?

  Now, if you stop posting random guesses and uninformed speculation and try
and tell us what the actual *problem* is, perhaps we can answer some questions
for you about the recent changes to d_ino under cygwin?


    cheers,
