I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.6.0-0.9.
The 2.6.0 release is going to introducing the locale_t datatype, as well
as all functions related to locale_t locales and per-thread locales per
POSIX-1.2008.
The full list of new interfaces is:
  isalnum_l, isalpha_l, *isascii_l*, isblank_l, iscntrl_l, isdigit_l,
  *toascii_l*, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l,

Macros/functions isascii_l(3) and toascii_l(3) are not in POSIX,
and isascii(3) and toascii(3) are deprecated:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/ctype.h.html

nl_langinfo_l(3) is in POSIX and is not included in your list:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/nl_langinfo.html

Will LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE designate the locale -f or locale -n locale?
locale -s and locale -u appear to return the Windows default product
locale e.g. en_US, regardless of system default regional settings.
