I have now verified that the findings with Cygwin 3.4.6 are the same as
with Cygwin 2.9.0. I had expected that, based on browsing through the
Cygwin git history; I confirm it now.

Btw, there are two more functions in the posix_spawn family meanwhile:
  * posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np
    implemented by glibc [1], musl libc, macOS, FreeBSD [2], Solaris ≥ 11.3
    used by a few packages (Firefox, Chromium, Rust)
  * posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np
    implemented in glibc, musl libc
    but not used by any package so far [3].

The next POSIX will contain these functions (without the _np suffix).[4]
