I'm confused. There is a Cygwin member of buildfarm, working quite happily. Can you point me to the exact patch in question, please? I thought we resolved the matter of stat() ages ago.

That patch is NOT about $subject. In fact, if you read that whole thread you will see here http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-06/msg00915.php that I conducted a test on Cygwin and found it was not suffering from the problem we fixed on WIN32.

AFAICT Reini's patch is about fixing OpenSSL and possibly some other options on Cygwin. It was rejected because it had other problems, but is not indicative of a fundamental problem on Cygwin. There is no reason I am aware of that we should declare Cygwin no longer supported, no matter how much its continued existence apparently annoys a few people :-) .

cheers
