Greetings!

Cygwin gcc is currently stuck at version 11.4:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 11.4.0

I would politely request an urgent update to GCC 13.3 (not 14.1, 13.3
is considered mature), as 11.4 causes severe problems:
1. Securly updates in the STL are not available in Cygwin
2. Everything relying on C++17, e.g. std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator,
does not work
3. Qt6 is not portable to Cygwin, which has a severe impact
