Oh, it's on purpose.  Believe me.  Caused someone some discomfort?  Then
our evil plan is succeeding.  Core developers!  Raise your glasses and
repeat after me "We are the core developers and we are MEAN!"

It's a well know fact that we put functions in unistd.h which are not
actually exported by cygwin just to tantalize and confuse people.  What
other earthly reason would we have for dangling this tempting fruit in
front of people, if not to frustrate them?

Bwahahaha.
