That fix just made it possible to build on the updated Cygwin which I
installed earlier...

The build hangs completely at this point (inside scanIoTest.exe) so the
job never finishes unless stopped manually. I tried connecting to it
with gdb (installation of which was why I had updated Cygwin earlier),
but the backtraces I got were singularly unhelpful as they all ended
like this just where it would show our code:

#2  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

That might be because Cygwin builds don't default to using -g, so I
tried rebuilding manually with -g and running the test by hand under
gdb, but of course it never hangs when I do that. I'll commit the -g
change and try this again on Friday.

That does tell me the first 3 tests succeeded.

Oh, and with this new version of Cygwin:

> src/libCom/test/O.cygwin-x86_64/blockingSockTest.tap ......... 
> Failed 1/13 subtests 

That failure being:

# This OS behaves like "esscimqi_socketBothShutdownRequired".
not ok 13 - Declared mechanism works
# epicsSocketSystemCallInterruptMechanismQuery returned
"esscimqi_socketCloseRequired"

So Cygwin has changed its socket shutdown behaviour again...
