Subject:	Problem with sys/config.h

Hi,

I have a problem, and I'm not sure where to start:

Here is the symptom: 
When I try to build the apt-get suite, I get some
header file failures.  Tracking them down leads to some
header file that has __IMPORT defined within it.

The root of the problem seems to be that apt-get has it's
own sys/config.h defined, and it does NOT include all
the lovely stuff in it that cygwin's does.

My question is, how does one get around this kind of
issue??  I'm guessing that sys/config.h should contain
some system/architecture specific configuraton 
options, defines, and some system specific overrides.
But, what should be done when the program/package
that is being compiled ignores sys/config.h by
overriding sys/config.h with it's own version/copy?

Thanks.
