I have been VERY happily pleased about how well Cygwin runs using
Prism on Windows/ARM64. I can build and test my x86_64 code there using it

is not that new these days. Using a stack Macbook-m1/UTM/Windows11-ARM64
runs the proggrams in build using cygwin on that Windows as x86_64 code via
Prism and is quite close in speed to that which I observe on my "real"
Windows computer.
Clarification: I was asking for NATIVE ARM64 Cygwin binaries. The
x86_64 to ARM64 emulation feels like having a racecar driving in
molasses, just annoying users, and is thus no option.
Someone would probably have to do a decent amount of work to figure out how to
get fork emulation working natively under Arm64 Windows, and other critical core
emulation functions, on Arm64 Windows machines, probably as part of a paid or
lengthy academic project, to donate to the volunteer Cygwin project.
Any CS/EE PhD candidates out there looking for a project, or embedded engineers
needing to support POSIX toolchains and environments under native Arm64 Windows?
