Reproduction:
- Use ruby-3.4.2-1 (test)
- Install gem containing native libraries

```
$ uname -srvmpio
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-22000 3.5.7-1.x86_64 2025-01-29 19:46 UTC x86_64
unknown unknown Cygwin
$ ruby -v
ruby 3.4.2 (2025-02-15 revision d2930f8e7a) +PRISM [x86_64-cygwin]
$ gem -v
3.5.11
$ cd /tmp
$ git clone https://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/ruby-debug_inspector
# Any gem that contains native libraries
$ cd ruby-debug_inspector
$ cygport ruby-debug_inspector.cygport fetch prep compile # preparation
$ cygport ruby-debug_inspector.cygport install
:
```

The process spawned inside `gem install` seems to raise SIGSEGV
internally and exits.

```
$ gdb /usr/bin/ruby
:
(gdb) run /usr/bin/gem install -V --local --ignore-dependencies

```

SIGSEGV seems to occur inside the cygwin DLL.

This problem also occurs with ruby-3.3.2-3 (test).

We have confirmed that it also occurs in cygwin-3.6.
