Cygwin Dirmngr and TBB for windows

[john doe]

Hi,

I'm trying to get Cygwin dirmngr to work with  Tor Browser for Windows.

Following some discussion on the gnupg user list it looks like that the 
connect(2) function in Cygwin does not return the proper error code:

https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2018-July/060768.html

On the above link one of the dev suggest that connect(2) returns EPERMS 
instead of ECONREFUSED.

If ECONREFUSED is not returned when port 9050 is queried the fallback 
code in dirmngr will not be executed and port 9150 will never be used.

Using dirmngr on Debian with TBBfor linux works as expected.

Can anyone confirm that and subcequently make Cygwin return the proper 
error code?

Any help is appriciated.
