When you say aliases, do you mean just wrapper methods?

Can the Cygwin versions be merged into newlib so every newlib target
has these?

FWIW when I looked at FreeBSD, the few I looked at had their own
real implementations which were not wrappers. I can see that wrapping
the largest type is OK though.
