The addition of these include files does make gcc -Wall happier, but it not change the behavior of the program at run-time. Under Cygwin on my XP box, it still waits many seconds for the connect() to timeout and then returns with a "Connection timed out" error, instead of returning after the 2 second alarm with the desired "Interrupted system call" error.
