Hi all, we also run into issues with 9.0 due to the incorrect handling of symlinks.
The coreutils Cygwin repository already includes 9.4 and 9.2 on the playground branch [1]. Any plans to release one of these versions?

Hello, there are 3 coreutils versions in cygwin: 8.26, 8.32 and 9.0. 8.32 has a big bug on "cp" that leaks file descriptors. Copying many files it dies with Too many open files. 9.0 has a bug that makes any chmod fail silently if it is applied to symlink. Both bugs have the impact that we are stuck to coreutils 8.26 for our build scripts, that use 'cp -R' and 'chmod -R' and would otherwise fail. Can someone update to a newer coreutils? 9.1 or later.
