The restriction might be acceptable if there is a great gain with using
compiler-rt, but I feel linking to cyggcc_s.dll is not so bad.

If you are planning to provide a package built with compiler-rt, especially
one that contains a DLL, I would say, "Please don't do that." It's very
different if someone decides to build their own application with compiler-rt
and takes responsibility for doing so. Before providing such a package, the
implementation of native TLS in cygwin1.dll is needed, as well as an update
to the toolchains to use it (and, I guess, it is impossible to switch with
keeping ABI). That changes the fundamental design of the distribution.


BTW, the profiler that provided by compiler-rt (unfortunately, it isn't included
in your package; available without -rtlib=compiler-rt, it works fine even with
libgcc_s) is definitely great; clang built with profile guided optimization
reduces 20% of walltime to build LLVM in GitHub Actions.
