Several tests failed on i386-cygwin

Steps:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make test |& tee test.log

Failed tests:

$ grep # test.log

As far as I know, there is no active Ruby maintainer for cygwin environment. And there is no CI for cygwin. Contribution is welcome.

In case of make btest, test_massign.rb and test_thread.rb succeeded.

The cause of failures is environment variable RUBY_FIBER_MACHINE_STACK_SIZE=1 in tools/runruby.rb.

The workaround (not beautiful) is as follows:

I think that defeats the purpose of the test. The test is specifically to test with the smallest possible machine stack sizes. This should be fixed by using higher minimums for RUBY_VM_THREAD_MACHINE_STACK_SIZE_MIN and/or RUBY_VM_FIBER_MACHINE_STACK_SIZE_MIN. I notice that on powerpc64 we use a 128KB minimum fiber machine stack size instead of a the 64KB minimum used by default. Maybe we should also do that for cygwin?:

Does this fix the issue on cygwin?
