mtrace and mcheck.h in Cygwin

- Subject: mtrace and mcheck.h in Cygwin
Hi!
I'm building a program in C using GCC under Cygwin. I appear to have a memory
leak somewhere in my program, so I want to use the memory allocation debugging
that's part of the GNU C library.
This involves including the mcheck.h header file in the source, and using the
mtrace command. It is better explained in the GNU C Library documentation here
(sorry for the URL being broken into two lines):
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual//html_node
/Allocation-Debugging.html#Allocation-Debugging
However, I can't seem to find either the header file or the mtrace command. I
don't know if I'm missing a package or what.
There was a post four years ago about the subject (Again, my apologies for this
URL being broken onto two lines):

The answer then seemed to be that the mtrace/mcheck.h utility does not exist in
Cygwin. I'm curious if that's still the case four years later.
What follows the list of packages I have currently installed, if it's of any
help.
