These functions don't interfere with existing functionality at all, so I don't see a reason to keep them out of 1.7.2... > 2010-03-02 Charles Wilson <...> > > Add XDR support. > * cygwin.din: Export xdr functions. > * include/cygwin/version.h: Bump version. > * cygxdr.cc: New. > * cygxdr.h: New. > * dcrt0.cc (dll_crt0_1): Print the (rare) xdr-related > error messages to stderr. > * Makefile.in: Add cygxdr. ...and I would *love* to apply the patches, but unfortunately there's a serious, VERY serious problem with this patch.
