It's "3.4.6-1.x86_64". I should be able to use that. Interestingly, that variable was made obsolete a couple years ago in commit d88e12aa19c4.We can un-obsolete it if Cygwin asks nicely ;-)
Thanks, but that's unnecessary. It turns out that the test succeeds on the currently released Cygwin. The bug that caused it to fail was introduced in the development sources for 3.5 and is now fixed there. So there's no known Cygwin release in which it fails.
But I'm glad to know about operating-system-release anyway. Maybe it will be useful some other time.
