It would be great if you can report this to the upstream because I
think the 7.x series is still being supported and there are new
releases now and then, so it would be nice to have that bug fixed in
7.x as well.

Yes, I will look into that. Upstream even made a PR to my cygport file
a few days ago: https://github.com/andyli/libgc-cygwin/pull/7
I'm checking with him about backward compatibility.

Best,
