If you'll note, I was trying to be careful in my reply - I'm not opposed
to a change in cygwin, and in fact welcome one to bring us into
consistency with Linux behavior; but at the same time, I'm also pointing
out that your program is not portable and therefore it may be worth
fixing the portability assumptions in your program instead of waiting on
cygwin to provide the specific undefined behavior that you want to use.

POSIX allows, but not requires, writev() to fail with EINVAL when iovcnt
is 0.
