FYI:
I have a couple of patches for the still testing 5.10 cygwin release,
and still some more bugs to analyse and fix, until it can go stable.

So far I have in patchlevel.h:
 	,"CYG04 major version"
 	,"CYG11 no-bs"
 	,"CYG12 no archlib in otherlibdirs"
	,"32891 aassign_common"
	,"32909 smartmatch-deparse"
	,"32933 clone-seen_eval"
	,"32938 refcount-reg_curpm"

But yesterday I had a DynaLoader improvement to be tested, and
embedding still leaves out boot_ calls for static_ext and DynaLoader.
Some linker flags are still broken.
