A quick test with stress-ng was successful with both libbsd 0.11.8-1 and 
0.12.2-1 test releases:
- Old executable using setproctitle{,_init}() from cygbsd-0.dll still runs.
- A rebuild uses setproctitle() from cygwin1.dll.
- The testcases using other functions linked to cygbsd-0.dll succeed and 
setproctitle() now works:

$ procps -C stress-ng -o pid,args --sort pid
   PID COMMAND
24706 ./stress-ng --heapsort 1 --mergesort 1 --radixsort 1 --monte-carlo 
1 --str 1 --wcs 1 -t 30 --verify -v -M
24707 stress-ng-heapsort [run]
24708 stress-ng-mergesort [run]
24709 stress-ng-radixsort [run]
24710 stress-ng-monte-carlo [run]  <= uses arc4random()
24711 stress-ng-str [run] <= uses strlcat/cpy()
24712 stress-ng-wcs [run] <= uses wcslcat/cpy()
