Hi Tatsuro,

no idea, but I saw the same trying to build 5.12.12 recently.
However I have not see it in February when I was trying some patches
from Achim


I guess something is changed on handling
    std::numeric_limits<uchar>::max
on our C++ compiler.

The documentation
https://www.cplusplus.com/reference/limits/numeric_limits/

just reported only an expansion on C++11, but maybe something
in Cygwin is triggering a fault
