What I mean is this: are all the Windows versions that Cygwin supports looking for the hosts and other files in %windir%\system32\drivers\etc or are there some versions, situations or configurations where it looks for those files in a different place? That the postinstall for base-files has worked until 2.4.0 seems to indicate that the place is always the same, but the absence of a bug report is not the same as positive confirmation.
