Was that the only change you applied? Are you aware that this also
requires to revert the changes to libc/stdlib/mbtowc_r.c and
libc/stdlib/wctomb_r.c which set the function pointers __mbtowc to
__utf8_mbtowc and __wctomb to __utf8_wctomb on Cygwin? If you do
that, does still everything work as you expect?
