Well, what the -DREENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED does is to compile newlib 
so that guaranteed reentrant versions of certain system calls are 
provided, with a "_r" tacked on to their names. E.g. gmtime() and 
gmtime_r(). localtime() and localtime_r().

And when I run "nm /usr/lib/libc.a | grep _r", I see these entry points. 
So on a wild guess, yes, I'd say that the cygwin newlib has been 
compiled with -DREENTRANT_SYSCALLS_PROVIDED.
