Cygwin: find_fast_cwd: don't run assembler checking code on ARM64 #233

Closed dscho closed 1 week ago

dscho commented 1 week ago

The code that looks for the FAST_CWD pointer seems to crash a lot in recent Canary builds of Windows. This has been fixed in a commit on Cygwin's (yet unreleased) 3.6.0 branch, in 4e77fa9b8b (Cygwin: find_fast_cwd: don't run assembler checking code on ARM64, 2024-02-13), and I already backported this into Git for Windows' fork of the MSYS2 runtime.

Let's backport it to MSYS2 proper, too.

@snickler would you mind testing the build artifact?

@dscho - WORKS. I replaced the contents of my usr directory within the Git install and I'm able to work again!
