Andy, I don't know if you'd want to continue this here or on
lightening's gitlab page, but I looked into this a little bit a few
minutes here and there this past weeek. The x86 "fast-call" calling
convention used on Windows x64[0] and shared by Cygwin[1] requires
that the caller reserve 32 bytes of memory on the stack for the callee
to spill the register parameters (even if the callee takes fewer than
four parameters). I think lightening is currently missing that for the
x64 case for Cygwin.

To test the idea, I made a small modification (patch attached) that is
*not* intended as a solution as it doesn't work for the general case,
but it does allow the tests to pass on Cygwin 64.
