I am using Pavels patch for some months now in my private version of
gnumake on cygwin heavily and I could not find any regression with it up
to now and gnumake is in my use cases clearly faster. It is still not a
stallion badged red italian car, but it is cruising its curves noticably
snappier on cygwin now.
Using EMX is a shortcut to achieve the usage of spawn() over fork(). It
might not be the cleanest choice but it works. Maybe Pavel finds the time
to make the patch distinct to cygwin itself.
Just my $0.02,
Roland
