This is important to decide and to code ASAP, to get out 1.5.0 finally.
Do we want a 64 bit key_t in Cygwin? Yes? No? Who will do the changes?
I'd say yes. The changes should be trivial compared to ino_t.
Actaully, I don't think anything in winsup (other than cygserver itself)
uses key_t -- and cygserver was designed to use 64bit key_t from the
beginning. So as long as the redefinition of key_t in newlib is guarded
by #if __CYGWIN__ (so that ./newlib/libc/sys/linux/ stuff that DOES use
key_t is protected from this change), I think you're home free.
FWIW, the patch that Robert originally said ought to be applied to newlib
before playing with cygdaemon is here (you want the key_t patch,
obviously, and NOT the exportipc.patch)
