Good morning!

/usr/bin/getent passwd and /usr/bin/getent group no longer yield any
output in the latest Cygwin 3.7-dev binaries.

Something broke.

I did some digging, and even /usr/bin/getent --help does not work
anymore. strace getent then reported that the function "argp_parse" is
missing in the binary.
Downgrading the package does not help.
