I used WolfSSL version 4.0.0 for all of the builds (Cygwin and Visual Studio 17/15)

I forgot to add:  Here are the testsuite results that indicate that the Visual Studio 17 configuration passes:

I built WolfSSL twice on the same computer - Windows 7 - Leveno Desktop Intel i5-4460 3.2 GHz.  One build is using cygwin and the other with Visual Studio 17 Community C++.  The Cygwin version ran 50 times faster than the Visual Studio version on the same computer!  I got virtually identical benchmark results on a Windows 7 2.7 Ghz Intel i7 computer using Visual Studio 15 Professional C++.

I ran the two benchmarks using the same blocksize of 1024.  The Visual Studio benchmark has a default blocksize of 1024 whereas the Cygwin benchmark program has a default blocksize of 1048756.  When I set the Visual Studio benchmark blocksize to 1048756, I get all zeros:
