The filesystem-library as a part of C++17 seems to have some

As stated earlier, it seems like using mingw g++/libstdc++ (from the
cygwin-package-manager) it seems like it works better, but then you can’t
mix with other posix/cygwin mechanism (that uses cygstdc++) without
breaking ODR (and probably some memory models etc as well) so maybe
someone do have some insightful info about this ? How “special” is
cygstdc++ (compared to mingw:s libstdc++) ? Could this be fixable in that
library (cygstdc++) ?
I might be totally wrong, so does anyone have any take on this ?
Cygwin provides cross-tools like djgpp-gcc-core mingw64-i686-gcc-core,
mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core, cygwin32-gcc-core, cygwin64-gcc-core, and
djgpp-binutils, mingw64-i686-binutils, mingw64-x86_64-binutils,
cygwin32-binutils, cygwin64-binutils so anyone has the freedom to choose to
build DOS, Windows, or Cygwin apps targeting their respective APIs, under
Cygwin, and also have the freedom to give away or sell those apps as long as
they respect their licences.
Cygwin's goal is to have everyone and everything believe it is running in a
POSIX environment and provide interoperability within a Windows environment
(including Wine) based on POSIX standards, system interfaces, toolchains,
shells, utilities:

system and network servers and services, plus GUI desktops (GNOME, KDE, LXDE,
MATE, Plasma, Xfce desktops on X Window System), and apps (task and file
managers, web browsers, PDF viewers and editors, graphics viewers and editors
including GIMP). This is all ported and supported by volunteers who believe
everyone should have a choice, even when for business or family reasons they use
Windows.
