Yes. I'm not sure how that should be handled. If you want to "force" the 
switch, for that particular toolchain, then the cygwin package of the 
mingw-w64-headers for that toolchain should probably stop shipping those 
files, so that the (new) winpthreads package for that toolchain can 
start shipping them.

If you DON'T want to force the switch, then...? Use the alternatives 
framework for those particular headers?
