@Gaëtan Gilbert : yes I have also seen this. It was introduced with a Cygwin update and is not reproducible - happens every 1000s file compiled or so. But it should be fixed by falling back to the old version - maybe that old version phased out now.

The log looks unfamiliar - I guess you went away from using Coq Platform again for CI. If so, you need the equivalent of the last patch in (https://github.com/coq/platform/blob/2021.02/shell_scripts/init_cygwin_fixes.sh)

I discussed this with the cygwin guys a while back, but they said that this are changes which came upstream from binutils and without reproduction it will be hard to argue with the binutils team. I guess at some point someone has to diff the sources and look for things which might have been messing things up.

Not sure if this is a cygwin only problem or Linuxes are just behind with their binutils version or it is something OCaml specific and rarely seen. I guess Coq is one of the larger OCaml projects with many CI builds.

But I must admit I currently have no bandwidth to look into this issue beyond the fallback "fix".

It is likely to fall on us some time, though.

The platform tests are still there but still on GitLab.

OK. If you have other Cygwin based Windows CI tests, they need the same patches as in the Coq Platform file I linked.

Does the other test update Cygwin on each CI run or do you user docker images?

I think they pull cygwin on each run.

Then I wonder why it din't show up before. I detected the issue in Platform CI end of January.

My guess (but I can't check right now): you fixed it already.

It just didn't get fix on the GitHub Action side.

I mean why didn't it show up in the GitHub actions before?

I'm not sure. If it is infrequent, maybe it did and we just didn't notice it.
