The cause is apparently that Cygwin's strverscmp implementation wasborrowed

would it make sense to use git submodules when "borrowing" code so the
upstream reference is not lost, and keeping it abreast is relatively trivial
exercise?
Issue is in newlib (x-post and followups set):
https://sourceware.org/cgit/newlib-cygwin/tree/newlib/libc/string/strverscmp.c
Docs for man pages are embedded in newlib (but not Cygwin unfortunately)
sources, but it would be nice if folks added a subsection or reference with
{Free,Open,Net}BSD/musl/etc. links, so we could see where and when the code was
copied, although some sources include BSD revision headers and copyrights, other
sources have no identifying header.
