As of Apr 18, CVS findutils builds fine on cygwin, but the testsuite still fails due to bug #18414 when run as a user with admin privileges (where access(R_OK) succeeds on any file, regardless of mode).

Also, several tests fail when CDPATH contains ., rather than gracefully skipping those tests; contrast the output of two different tests in this snippet:

FAIL: execdir-in-unreadable.new-O3, /home/eblake/findutils/find/testsuite/../find: The current directory is included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find.  Please remove the current directory from your $PATH (that is, remove "." or leading or trailing colons)
Running /home/eblake/findutils/find/testsuite/find.gnu/execdir-one.exp ...
WARNING:  Cannot perform test as your $PATH environment variable includes a reference to the current directory or a directory name which is not absolute

As those are both testsuite failures (and one already has a separate bug open), and not build failures, this bug is fixed once you release 4.3.4.

I have applied the suggected change to 4.3.x but have no access to a Cygwin system to test this.   Could you verify that the problem is fixed?

4.3.3 will not build out-of-the-box on cygwin, because it relies on
gnulib's tests, which had a bug at the time you ran gnulib-tool:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/eblake/findutils-4.3.3-1/build/tests'
...
gcc  -O2 -pipe    -o test-dirname.exe  test-dirname.o -lintl
../gnulib/lib/libgnulib.a
../gnulib/lib/libgnulib.a(xalloc-die.o):xalloc-die.c:(.text+0xe):
undefined reference to `_libintl_gettext'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is fixed by making sure that 4.3.4 uses gnulib from Apr 17 or later.
