[...a bunch of detailed stuff...]

If this were really a Cygwin program you likely wouldn't be #include-ing
winsock.h.  Is this a native Windows program you're just trying to build with
gcc?  If so, you likely don't want Cygwin, you want MinGW, a separate project
with different goals.  Look it up.

If that's not the case, you're going to have to slow down... you've got more
than two errors to worry about.  What I would do is forget '-O3' until stuff
builds and use '-c' on each source file one at a time to make sure each
compiles.  In any case with Cygwin you don't want to be linking against winsock
anyway; Cygwin supplies the network functions itself.

You'll need more assistance than I can give, so good luck.  Others here may be
able to help.
Cheers,
