Yeah, come to think of it that one also stuck out to me after I sent the 
mail.  I've updated my cygport and associated artifacts to include those 
dependencies:
https://github.com/crd477/cygports/tree/main/rsync

Here's an update diff of the features and capabilities, reformatted and 
sorted for easier comparison:

I think the diffs after "19c20" above should be safe to ignore as the 
release notes explain them:
" - Renamed configure's `--enable-simd` option to `--enable-roll-simd` 
and added
    the option `--enable-roll-asm` to use the new asm version of the 
code.  Both
    are x86_64/amd64 only.

  - Renamed configure's `--enable-asm` option to `--enable-md5-asm` to avoid
    confusion with the asm option for the rolling checksum.  It is also 
honored
    even when openssl crypto is in use.  This allows: normal MD4 & MD5, 
normal
    MD4 + asm MD5, openssl MD4 & MD5, or openssl MD4 + asm MD5 depending 
on the
    configure options selected.

  - Made SIMD & asm configure checks default to "no" on non-Linux hosts 
due to
    various reports of problems on NetBSD & macOS hosts.  These were also
    tweaked to allow enabling the feature on a host_cpu of amd64 (was only
    allowed on x86_64 before)."

Thanks...
