I just tried building this on an up-to-date Cygwin system running on
Windows 10.  It built fine and seems to run fine.  However, "make
check" reported the following failure:

    ============================================================================
    Testsuite summary for GNU grep 3.7.62-9a668
    ============================================================================
    # TOTAL: 201
    # PASS:  189
    # SKIP:  11
    # XFAIL: 0
    # FAIL:  1
    # XPASS: 0
    # ERROR: 0
    ============================================================================
    See gnulib-tests/test-suite.log
    Please report to bug-grep@gnu.org
    ============================================================================

gnulib-tests/test-suite.log said only this about the failure:

    FAIL: test-select-out.sh
    ========================

    FAIL test-select-out.sh (exit status: 1)

The header of that file says:

    # Test select() on file descriptors opened for writing.

The output of the script is not very informative.  It looks like it
needs to run within some sort of framework.  It may be a while
before I can look at this more closely.
