Yes.  Use setup.exe, and select the "src" checkbox next to coreutils (or
any other package where you want to know what went into the cygwin
version).  For coreutils, that will get you all of my cygwin-specific
patches to coreutils.

Debian coreutils does not care about cygwin-specific patches, and the
freopen in question, while it is indeed buggy upstream, only affects
cygwin and other platforms that define O_BINARY.  Since that excludes
debian, then debian's fork of coreutils has no reason to patch it.
