Thanks for the report.

This is a dumb bug I introduced into the build system in 3.4.0.  I fixed
that in the git repo, but the automated build of the matching test
release cygwin-3.5.0-0.17.g95f5b0a62036 is currently not building due to
some hiccup on cygwin.com.  I'll send a new mail as soon as this is
fixed and you can test it (provided you run at least Windows 8.1).


Thanks,
