yes. when configured with this flag, cygwin provides its own
debugging version of malloc() and friends, so it doesn't need newlib's
one.

hmm, i'm not sure i understand what you mean here. where i should set
TARGET_CFLAGS to include -DMALLOC_PROVIDED ?

env TARGET_CFLAGS=-DMALLOC_PROVIDED make

or some patch to top-level configure, or something else?

JJ> Does this change tie in with a Cygwin patch?

yes. it was posted in
