Support for ITIMER_PROF?

According to the Cygwin API documentation
(https://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/std-notes.html), "getitimer and setitimer only
support ITIMER_REAL for now." I'm wondering whether there's any chance that
support for ITIMER_PROF might be added. I have no idea what the obstacles are.
My reason for asking is that emacs has a CPU profiling function, which doesn't
work on Cygwin because it relies on ITIMER_PROF. (There's an alternative
implementation, but it requires timer_getoverrun, also not available in Cygwin.)
