Eric Blake no longer seems to have free time available for Cygwin

Done. Thanks.
I would like to provide an upgrade to the final version 8 release
8.32, initially as a TEST release, before working on the latest
release 9.1.
Package sources and archives are available online at:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z_giKv3QIUbYvSNOiTtMMr644v-wOG_k
and builds in playground from:
https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/playground.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/playground
Since it didn't already exist, I've created
git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/coreutils.git using a new tool
I've been working on ('ctm2git') which synthesizes a git history of
the packaging for a package from the source package history in the
CTM.
If that's not wanted, please let me know and I'll remove it.
That's really nice, thanks, I'll drop my two version playground.

The jobs appear to fail because some checks fail and return
non-zero status.
Comparing checks between current and proposed releases and across
x86/_64/CI jobs, there appear to be fewer failures despite more
tests.
All feedback is encouraged and gratefully received.
Thanks for picking up coreutils, which is not only by name a core
package.
I think this is at least worthy of a pink hippo ;)
Thanks, hopefully I can be worthy of *IT*!
