I am still waiting for 5.22.3 to be released upstream. Apparently some
security fix is still controversial, so I don't think the release will
happen very soon. I have however run all the tests on x86 again after
updating Cygwin and they still pass, so I'd think we are OK without a
rebuild at the moment.

Achim.
