How to make Cygwin map backspace to ASCII DEL?


Greetings,

I just upgraded all Cygwin packages to their latest versions.
Although I don't use Cygwin a lot, I'm fairly sure that I would
have noticed if backspace in an ordinary Windows console window had
ended up as ^H to a Cygwin application (zsh in this case) running
in that console window, which is what happens now.

Anyway, whatever the old behaviour was, I want backspace to
generate ASCII DEL (^?) and not ^H --- how can I make Cygwin do
that?
