Thanks for that. The patches worked but now there are failures to do with 
_C_monetary_locale, _C_numeric_locale, _C_time_locale and _C_messages_locale. e.g.
----
newlib-cygwin/newlib/libc/stdlib/../locale/setlocale.h: In function 
'__get_monetary_locale':
newlib-cygwin/newlib/libc/stdlib/../locale/setlocale.h:329:10: error: 
incompatible types when returning type 'const struct lc_monetary_T' but 'const 
struct lc_monetary_T *' was expected
    return _C_monetary_locale;
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
----
There are a number of these, it looks like they're all in setlocale.h.
