That wasn't what I meant on IRC.  I thought we keep 4.8.3-3 while you're
looking into 4.8.3-4.  Especially given that this problem only occurs on
64 bit, but not on 32 bit, and 1.7.33 has a workaround for this problem.
4.8.3-2 is built without cxa_atexit support at all and thus the
applications built with it are potentially missing functionality.  The
potential crash can easily be "fixed" by updating Cygwin to the test
relase.

It's not really misoptimizing.  It's more a problem how atexit works in
Cygwin, combined with GCCs tail call optimization.  atexit tries to
figure out the DSO which called it from the return address on the stack.
GCCs tail call optimization eliminates the return address of the caller
and thus the return address is not the one of the caller, but of the
caller's caller in atexit.
