I think you can download pre-released builds from:

Right, but see below for cygwin-3.2.0-0.1.
As mentioned already, the fix here is not actually support of AF_UNIX sockets
natively. My understanding is that they are implemented over loopback TCP in
cygwin, but the fix allows native AF_UNIX sockets to be handled (eg deleted) as
regular files through regular cygwin commands.

Hi all
Does anyone know the status of these fixes ?
I saw an announcement for cygwin-3.2.0-0.1 that seemed to contain some
AF_UNIX-related fixes but I fail to find out where that distribution exists
(if it is supposed to be publicly accessible?), but I tried out the
2021-03-01 snapshot and perhaps they are similar ?
You can install cygwin-3.2.0-0.1 in the usual way, through Cygwin's setup
program. Since it's a test release, you'll have to explicitly select that
release; setup won't just offer it to you.
We bumped into some AF_UNIX-related issues when trying the 2021-03-01
-snapshot though. It might be some flaws in our code base but the same code
works in quite a few Linux-distros
We're more than willing to help out with testing this and/or trying to
narrow down any possible cygwin issues, but first we'd be glad if someone
could give us some kind of status report of this (so no one is doing any
unnecessary work)
Best regards,
Kristian
p.s.
I tried to build the topic/af_unix -branch according to the FAQ, but
there was some issues
I'm still in the middle of some things on that branch, and I haven't had much
time to work on it recently. I hope to get back to it very soon. In order to
build it, you need to add -D__WITH_AF_UNIX to CXXFLAGS. In order to test it,
you need
#undef AF_UNIX
#define AF_UNIX 31
after including <sys/socket.h>
