Yes, many moons ago (on my old 32-bit laptop) when I was still 'working' with MinGW I noticed this same thing while looking into providing a win32 emulation of unix sockets. So, I had to look into this at the same time. Since this didn't progress, I didn't mention the libgen issue.

Anyway, I still have a 'test-libgen.c' file (attached) from back then that contains some tests. I don't quite recall what the final state of this code was, but it was intended to test _existing_ libgen implementations as well as provide a 'git' version which would work on MinGW, cygwin and linux. Note that some of the existing implementations didn't all agree on what the tests should report! I don't remember if I looked at the POSIX spec or not.

So, I don't know how useful it will be - if nothing else, there are some tests! :-D
