Qt6 in Cygwin?

[Carlo B.]

Hello,
at the moment, I ported qtbase from Qt6 and I contributed patches to
the friends at Qt codereview.
Hopefully, many of these patches have been accepted and they should be
available into the next version 6.9, because I don't think that they
will be backported to 6.8.x.
There are still few things to fix, but at the moment the current
qtcore was enough for me, because I needed these native tools for
CYGWIN.
Actually, these tools are needed for building my Qt6 packages for
i686/x86_64/aarch64-w64-mingw32 cross compilers.
I would like to make available these packages soon into my repository,
for people who need them.

I hope this will be helpful for all.
Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini.
