Cygwin distributes the version from
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/newlib/libc/sys/cygwin/sys/?cvsroot=src
This file hasn't changed in 22 months, and is included in the
cygwin-1.3.19-1 distribution. I've actually installed 1.3.19-1 from
scratch and compiled ocaml successfully, so I know it does work.
(just to muddy the waters, Cygwin released 1.3.20 on Saturday)
