I would like to propose cygwin.yml for x86_64-cygwin CI.

Result (local branch): https://github.com/fd00/ruby/runs/337808124

Hi,

The test fails frequently on cygwin. Could you investigate and fix it?

https://github.com/ruby/ruby/actions?page=1&query=branch%3Amaster+workflow%3ACygwin

Also, it only runs make btest.
I'm negative against adding the platform to CIs if make check does not pass.

Sorry, I have no idea now...

If develop is hindered, you can revert it.

I ignore to run btest on cygwin environment of GitHub Actions recently. I will completely remove it if no one maintains it.

Agreed for the removal. Adding a CI without its active maintainer is harmful.

I have deleted the github action file for cygwin CI. That is broken.

This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version.  The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution.  Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

Adding a platform to the official CI may make users misunderstand that the platform is officially supported.
Please start it on your own repository first, and maintain it for a few month, at least.

I'm not for such attitude.
But unstable CI is harmful.

.github/workflows/cygwin.yml: Removed

There is no active maintainer for cygwin. The CI failure is too noisy.
