Not quite right. It is up to the locale definition whether whitespace
affects collation.  But you are correct that in the POSIX locale,
whitespace must not be ignored in collation.

That's because the locale definitions are different in cygwin than they
are in glibc.  But it is not a bug in Cygwin; POSIX allows for different
systems to have different locale definitions while still using the same
locale name like en_US.UTF-8.
