My impression is that Wind River Systems picked up an earlier version
of cygwin32, made some local changes, and shipped it with their
product.  As far as I know, WRS has never contributed anything back to
the mainline sources at Cygnus.

It is quite likely that you will have problems trying to run two
different versions of cygwin.dll simultaneously; I believe this will
work somewhat better in the upcoming b19 release.

I expect that if you want more information about what WRS ships you
will have to contact WRS.
