Yes, I can reproduce fails as well, but I don't see an easy way to
debug this.  Your testcase just fails but runs along afterwards.

I'm completely cmake-illiterate, which isn't a great help either.

Two points:

- It's unlikely that this occurs only with 3.6.0-1 and later.  It's more
  likely that it occurs on the way from 3.5 to 3.6.  Unfortunately the
  remaining 3.6.0 test builds are only going back to patchlevel 429 or
  so.

  Any chance one of you could bisect Cygwin and find out which commit
  introduced the problem?

- Also, since this seems to affect certain cmake versions only, can the
  cmake maintainers help here, perhaps?


Thanks,
Corinna
