CYGWIN_NT-5.0 ZPC207050 1.3.22(0.78/3/2) bug

[Hornsby, Kelly]

I just discovered that an environment variable OSTYPE is not longer exported by default to a subprocess under this version of Cygwin.  Why did this occur?  Was it intentional, or inadvertent?  I use this often, and although I can perform an export OSTYPE explicitly,  I now have lots of broken makefiles that won't work anymore.  Do you have any suggestions?  Otherwise, can this guy be fixed in the next minor release?
