This worked for me too. Both the 1.8.6 with the new strftime.c and the
stable-snapshot compile OK in Cygwin. However, they both also fail my
test /dev/urandom script. There must be something peculiar as to how
1.8.x builds in Cygwin that makes that script fail. Maybe now that I
have the source I could debug it, but I'm rusty on that.
