You need to be more specific about what you're trying to do.  If you're
using Cygwin's gcc, it's unlikely that you want to define 'WIN32'.  If you
think this is what you want, you most likely want to use 'gcc -mno-cygwin',
which essentially gets you the same thing as you would get from using gcc
as offered by Mingw (www.mingw.org).  This will define 'WIN32' by default.
It will also not link in 'cygwin1.dll' so you will loose POSIX compatibility.
If you *must* define 'WIN32' but still use Cygwin's gcc without 
'-mno-cygwin', then define it on the command line to gcc, just like any other 
symbol you'd define at compile time.
