Issue is in newlib (x-post and followups set):
https://sourceware.org/cgit/newlib-cygwin/tree/newlib/libc/string/strverscmp.c

Docs for man pages are embedded in newlib (but not Cygwin unfortunately) 
sources, but it would be nice if folks added a subsection or reference with 
{Free,Open,Net}BSD/musl/etc. links, so we could see where and when the code was 
copied, although some sources include BSD revision headers and copyrights, other 
sources have no identifying header.
