contained a file 'fifo' which looks like a pipe. But I'm not sure to
which extent Cygwin FIFOs emulate Unix FIFOs. On the file system I
see a 130 byte fifo.lnk file.
Cygwin FIFOs are known to be broken. They are a work in progress
(Windows provides lousy support for emulating POSIX fifos).
In any case, I think it would be better to skip this test on Cygwin.
Many test failures...
Yeah, and some of that is due to cygwin-specific patches that I maintain
in the cygwin port of coreutils, but haven't yet bothered to isolate and
push back upstream. But not my highest priority at the moment, nor has
it been a show-stopper for a coreutils release in the past.
