Cygwin seems to look up a symlink wrong:
When the target-file is unlinked while it is used by a process the file
still exists and the symlink should point to that file.
Test:
ln -s out1 lout1
exec >lout1
rm out1
[[ -w /dev/fd/1 ]] || echo /dev/fd/1 not writable 1>&2
rm lout1
Only on cygwin it prints the message.
