I struggled to find any Cygwin or online docs mentioning this, until the poster 
linked:

	https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html,

when I realised there are docs provided only for gcc/g++, objc/objc++, gccint, 
gfortran, libgccjit, libgomp, libquadmath, but nothing for libstdc++, not even 
info or man pages.

Is there any chance we could possibly get libstdc++.info* or man pages included 
with the build, or as (a) separate -doc package(s), and possibly other libraries 
or components where info or man pages are available, and may not currently be 
built or installed?

Given that cygwin/-devel is likely built with the old ABI, is there any point in 
trying to build libraries/packages that *require* the new ABI features in C++20?

I am asking to adopt dependent orphaned packages, just so I *can* rebuild them 
with the new ABI, so is trying this exercise going to be futile?

One upstream refuses to support distros that do not support C++20 compilers,
so curl and wget2 will hopefully continue to build with their current package!
