[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Thanks, but that patch intrudes on the mainline code a bit. It's simpler 
to just disable O_PATH on Cygwin until the old Cygwin versions die out. 
Also, there's a similar issue in fileio.c. I installed the attached, 
which should work around the problem in both source files.
