Description

I've been trying to build https://github.com/grain-lang/binaryen.ml and it seems that esy-bash is broken on Windows 10, especially when needing to rely on mingw compilers for our C bindings. If I update the esy-bash installation in my esy install, everything works. This requires an attended install otherwise cygwin kills itself during the upgrade.

Can we get a new release of this package that includes the newest cygwin and installed packages?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the esy-bash installation and release process, focusing on its Cygwin and installed-package versions. Reproduce the Windows 10 case through esy install with the mingw compilers used for C bindings, and consider the attended-install requirement. Done means a new package release includes the updated Cygwin and packages and works for this build.
