FYI
the poll function still has problems and was specifically omitted
from your regression test above < -x test_poll in command line >

This trivial patch solves the time module problem < timezone related >

the 'strftime' issue appears to be a newlib problem that I am looking into.

the 'poll' issues are, I am sorry to say, still a little beyond me.

If anyone familiar with the inner workings of the Cygwin polling
mechanism is interested in helping,  I will do all I can to help.

The relevant Python source lives in $PY_SRC / Modules / selectmodule.c
bracketed within   #ifdef HAVE_POLL      #endif

Once we get these two modules working all that will be missing from
a 100% Posix Python port will be threading.

Cheers
