Very nice. I too am confused with the cgywin-multi. Did you build
using --with-multiplicity -- could that be it? (If multiplicity is the
reason for the cygwin-multi dir but you did not explicitly specify it,
it's possible that multiplicity is now the default?)
(From perldoc perlcygwin):
"-Dusemultiplicity
Multiplicity is required when embedding perl in a C program and using
more than one interpreter instance. This works with the cygwin port."
BTW, you have to manually munge the /usr/bin/ld2 file, or end-users
won't be able to build their own XC packages (mailer probably wrapped
the second '-' line)

Hmmm....this sounds familiar. Check the archives, I think there's an
obvious explanation for this but I can't remember it right now.
Finally, every now and again an interesting perl bug report (e.g.
*actual details* !!! on the textmode/binmode thing) comes across the
cygwin mailing list. I've filed those away on occasion, and can send
you an mbox-format archive of "perl-pending" issues, if you're
interested. I don't guarantee that I've saved EVERY bug report, but it
could be a place to start. there are 9 or 10 post-5.6.1 threads.
(Maybe you or perl5-porters have already fixed them, I dunno...remember
that "our" current cygwin is based on 5.6.1-TRIAL1, not even on
5.6.1-release)
