The newest Cygwin release (3.5.5) has three major regressions:
- bash hangs [1]
- access() behaviour changed [2]
- raise() produces random behaviour [3]
The first one has the potential to hang the CI for 6 hours; the second and
third one causes unit test failures in the CIs of gnulib, gettext, and m4.
Since the GitHub CI picks up the newest Cygwin release automatically
and I don't want to spend hours again, hunting down Cygwin regressions
in basic POSIX functionality, I am disabling the Cygwin (64-bit) CI for
these packages.
I keep the Cygwin (32-bit) CI, since that is running a fixed release (3.3.6) —
no risk of regressions caused by Cygwin.
