For these to be considered missing or deficient such that they should be
provided or replaced gnulib must consider Cygwin lacking support for ANSI C
fflush https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/MODULES.html#ansic_enh_stdio
and POSIX 2008 fseek and fseeko supporting pipes and 4GB in 32 bit mode
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/MODULES.html#posix_sup
perhaps as a result of incorrect conclusions about Cygwin in autoreconf?
