OK, but please add in both places comments explaining the reason, and
in particular include there a pointer to etc/PROBLEMS.

(I do wonder whether this is a good idea in the long run.  Native
compilation is here to stay, so avoiding its testing for Cygwin might
not be the best solution.  The PROBLEMS entry seems to imply that
relatively simple measures, which the test suite could take, could
avoid the fork failures, so my recommendation would be to try to find
a better fix in the future, albeit not in Emacs 29.)
