It turns out that this doesn't work on Cygwin with its latest Perl
(which has MYMALLOC defined). If we call PERL_SYS_INIT3() it fails in
that call, and if we don't call it it fails later. We haven't noticed it
earlier because my Cygwin buildfarm member's Perl is a couple of years
old. I guess we're lucky that it's not a more critical platform, but
there is no guarantee that this is the only place it will fail, now or
in the future. I will see about following up more energetically with the
Perl people.
The workaround on Cygwin is to downgrade the perl installation to 5.8.8.
