GraphicsMagick broken after libxml2 2.13.9 upgrade (missing xmlNanoHTTPCleanup)

Hello,
The recent upgrade of libxml2 from 2.10.4 to 2.13.9 breaks applications
relying on GraphicsMagick, such as Octave.
When launching octave, it throws the following Windows error dialog:
"The procedure entry point xmlNanoHTTPCleanup could not be located in the
dynamic link library C:\cygwin64\bin\cygGraphicsMagick-3.dll."
Upstream libxml2 2.13 dropped the deprecated NanoHTTP symbols. It appears
cygGraphicsMagick-3.dll needs to be rebuilt against the new libxml2 release
to resolve the missing entry point.
Windows version: Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2
Best regards,
Cristian Diaconu
