Something is still wrong on my side, with Cygwin 3.6 on Windows 10:

Example:
---- snip ----
#define UNICODE 1
#define _UNICODE 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int main(int ac, char *av[])
{
    (void)printf("FileNormalizedNameInfo=%d/0x%x\n",
        (int)FileNormalizedNameInfo,
        (int)FileNormalizedNameInfo);

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
---- snip ----

Compiling this with $ gcc -Wall test4.c -o test4 # and running it returns this:
---- snip ----
$ ./test4
FileNormalizedNameInfo=22/0x16
---- snip ----
The expected output would be "FileNormalizedNameInfo=24/0x18", because
in https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/win32/api/minwinbase/ne-minwinbase-file_info_by_handle_class
|FileNormalizedNameInfo| is in position 24.

Looking at /usr/include/w32api/minwinbase.h:
---- snip ----
  typedef enum _FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS {
   FileBasicInfo /* is zero? */,
   FileStandardInfo,
   FileNameInfo,
   FileRenameInfo,
   FileDispositionInfo,
   FileAllocationInfo,
   FileEndOfFileInfo,
   FileStreamInfo,
   FileCompressionInfo,
   FileAttributeTagInfo,
   FileIdBothDirectoryInfo,
   FileIdBothDirectoryRestartInfo,
   FileIoPriorityHintInfo,
   FileRemoteProtocolInfo,
   FileFullDirectoryInfo,
   FileFullDirectoryRestartInfo,
#if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0602
   FileStorageInfo,
   FileAlignmentInfo,
   FileIdInfo,
   FileIdExtdDirectoryInfo,
   FileIdExtdDirectoryRestartInfo,
#endif
#if _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0A000002
   FileDispositionInfoEx,
   FileRenameInfoEx,
#endif
   FileCaseSensitiveInfo,
   FileNormalizedNameInfo,
   MaximumFileInfoByHandleClass
 } FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS, *PFILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS;
#endif
---- snip ----

This code cannot work, because the integer value for
|FileNormalizedNameInfo| enum shift with different Windows versions,
e.g. |FileNormalizedNameInfo| has value |22| if |_WIN32_WINNT==0x0602|
but value |24| if |_WIN32_WINNT==0x0A000002|.

I filed https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/issues/48 for the
issue, but it would be nice if this can be fixed in both Cygwin 3.5
and 3.6...
