It's lucky that you're not a cygwin maintainer. "Cygwin compatibility"
is supposed to be "UNIX compatibility". That's why cygwin exists.
I don't have two systems set up for testing serial ports right now.
However, if I was a person having this problem, I wouldn't be
speculating on what other people should be doing. I'd be debugging the
problem myself. In the time it takes to send email, you could be
doing someting like
cd gdb
ls *serial*
and investigating the code there, setting breakpoints, etc.
