When we identified the wording bug in the POSIX standard in 2012, Eric Blake from RedHat told us that he asked people from LKML. I am not sure whether this did result in any action.
His most recent communication on that subject on the Cygwin mailing list seems to indicate that it did not:
Thank you for this pointer. Eric seems not to be fully correct in his explanation. waitid() is a SVr4 invention from 1989 and POSIX just takes existing interfaces. The interface as present in SVr4 or Solaris is the reference and I would be astonished if Cygwin intends to re-implement bugs from Linux. For those who are interested, I added the cwait() man page from UNOX (1980) to the bug report: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=947 So the ability to access 32 bits from exit() is 35 years old.
