I'd be happy to test it out if you can give me some commands to git it and
build it to replace my existing stock Cygwin installation.
(Or it is just the cygwin.dll I'd need to replace?)
My daily backup scripts use a lot of pipes and named pipes.
It's just cygwin1.dll that you'd need to replace. Instructions for building the
latter can be found at
https://www.cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin
but they're out of date in two respects:
1. Currently the build does *not* ignore errors in building the documentation.
2. In addition to the packages listed in the FAQ, you'll need the following:
texlive-collection-latexrecommended
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
texlive-collection-pictures
python38-lxml
python38-ply
These instructions will produce cygwin1.dll in the bin subdirectory of your
install directory, built from the git master branch.
If you want to try the topic/pipe branch, just go to the newlib-cygwin git repo
that you cloned, issue the command 'git checkout topic/pipe', and rebuild.
I'll be glad to help if you run into problems.
