OK. So the same defines with the same values? Anything cygwin specific
goes into an ifdef, etc. I vaguely recall doing this before for other
header files.

RTEMS is always built from source so changing the values isn't a huge
binary compatibility issue. But moving the header file from RTEMS to
newlib will require everyone using the git master to build new tools.
So there is a bit of coordination on our side.
