Actually, it's apparent that this isn't true and I am guilty of spreading
misinformation.  Sorry about that.

They actually did check cygwin.  They built it by running make from the
top level, though, and that would work since it adds the newlib build
directory to the include path.  So, the newlib guys are actually going
above and beyond when they make changes.

Just wanted to set the record straight.
