The way I read his email, he was saying "where is the discussion", not
"there was one and you should have linked to it".

I'll repeat myself.
Until the test suite is run successfully, you have *no real* idea about
this. You are guessing that pthreads, mmap, pipes and a bunch of other
primitives that cygwin emulates are working properly.
Console code is one of the key parts of cygwin, and Xterm emulators
require that code working as well.
