I'll queue it in 'pu' for now, and hopefully we can get some test reports from other cygwin folks (on new and old cygwin). > diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile > index f69979e..1cc5d96 100644 > --- a/Makefile > +++ b/Makefile > @@ -1082,6 +1082,7 @@ ifeq ($(uname_O),Cygwin) > NO_SYMLINK_HEAD = YesPlease > NO_IPV6 = YesPlease > OLD_ICONV = UnfortunatelyYes > + V15_MINGW_HEADERS = YesPlease > endif The "if" part of the conditional that did not make it into the context above is an expr match for "1.6.*" From the name, I would think that we would want to use these headers on cygwin 1.5.* , too.
