It would be nice to have a common Newlib implementation which can be 
used for Cygwin, RTEMS and other systems. The RTEMS implementation is 
BSD licensed and uses the FreeBSD BITSET(9) support:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bitset&apropos=0&sektion=9

The goal of the RTEMS <sys/cpuset.h> is to provide the full glibc API

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/CPU_SET.3.html

and as much as possible from FreeBSD CPUSET(9)

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=cpuset&sektion=9&apropos=0

If you don't want the FreeBSD compatibility in Cygwin (it may confuse 
configure scripts), then we can move this to a separate part and only 
provide it by RTEMS.
