So I think we rather shouldn't supply the libbsd version of
setproctitle_init/setproctitle anymore, as soon as cygwin 3.6.0 is
released.

What do you think?
Makes sense. But then existing programs already using the functions from
cygbsd-0.dll would no longer start. Perhaps keep the symbols in the DLL only
for some time?
Sure!  The new version will just disable the header definitions but
still export the symbols for backward compat.
I just realized that this isn't sufficient.  The link lib libbsd.dll.a
must not export the symbol either.
I uploaded a 0.11.8-1 test package which fixes this issue.  I'll
propagate it to non-test when 3.6.0 is released.

A quick test with stress-ng was successful with both libbsd 0.11.8-1 and 0.12.2-1 test releases:
- Old executable using setproctitle{,_init}() from cygbsd-0.dll still runs.
- A rebuild uses setproctitle() from cygwin1.dll.
- The testcases using other functions linked to cygbsd-0.dll succeed and setproctitle() now works:

$ procps -C stress-ng -o pid,args --sort pid
  PID COMMAND
24706 ./stress-ng --heapsort 1 --mergesort 1 --radixsort 1 --monte-carlo 1 --str 1 --wcs 1 -t 30 --verify -v -M
24707 stress-ng-heapsort [run]
24708 stress-ng-mergesort [run]
24709 stress-ng-radixsort [run]
24710 stress-ng-monte-carlo [run]  <= uses arc4random()
24711 stress-ng-str [run] <= uses strlcat/cpy()
24712 stress-ng-wcs [run] <= uses wcslcat/cpy()
