I'm not entirely current on these issues.

Apparently this is historically acceptable for the simulator.  Yuck.
Andrew did some heroic work to improve the situation:
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/gdb/2002-09/msg00135.html
but I don't remember seeing any major changes since then.

In any case, you're adding new files to a directory in which everything
is copyright FSF.  That doesn't seem like a good choice.  The only new
