Not me.

Yup. I'd bet 10 ￜ that it's not possible.

Never heard of that DLL, but Google asked me "Did you mean winsrv.dll".
Maybe this gets you on the right track.

IMO if you want to use GNAT with the Cygwin DLL, you'll first have to
port it to Cygwin. Might be a relatively easy port, though.

Dunno if that strange winserve.dll is worth it. Do you have it on your
system at all? Have you tried DependencyWalker on it?
