Which failures were this? If I understand it correctly, a gnulib strerror_r
replacement that does not use __xpg_strerror_r on Cygwin 1.7.9 should be
identical to the one built on Cygwin <= 1.7.8. But a testdir created with

$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir --with-tests strerror perror

and built on Cygwin 1.7.5 passes all tests.
