The C header files are way behind the current mingw-w64 repository. Can you
update that package in cygwin?

http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download is outdated: Cygwin was updated at the
start of this year to the current mingw64 version 6:
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=mingw64-.*-headers.*6&arch=x86_64
$ l -ghlo noarch/release/mingw64-*-headers/mingw64-*-headers-6*

I did not mean the release page [1]. I mean the cygwin headers is older
than the current mingw-w64 git repository [2]. The latest tag is v6.0.0.
[3]
Wait, did you mean there should be a new "stable" tag or release in
mingw-w64 so that cygwin can import it?

Did you read what I posted or check the content at the links?
Mingw64 release is 6.0.0 and so are Cygwin packages mingw64-*86-headers!
Mingw64 6 was released at the end of last year and Cygwin packages were updated
to 6 at the start of this year.
Where is the discrepancy between Mingw64 and Cygwin headers?
The Mingw64 master/HEAD/tip may not be identical to current Cygwin, as Cygwin
tracks stable package release sources, but will sometimes cherry pick CVE fixes
to patch between releases.
