Hi,

is cygwin part of this topic?
because cygwin is broken for a long time now because it is considered
that cygwin=windows but it should be cygwin=posix. In particular,
filesystem does not work well. With V2 it was possible to manually
configure with macro definitions but not with V3 (POSIX_PATH,
POSIX_API).
But all this is not mingw so I fair it is not in the scope of your message.
