Due to building PostgreSQL 7.0.2, my Cygwin installation already had an
(empty) /usr/include/netinet/tcp.h (due to following their Cygwin README).
Hence, I was unaware of the above problem.

Your workaround is fine and your executable should be as "fully
functional" as mine.  If you run the regression tests, you should find
that it fails test_fcntl, test_poll (which should be excluded due to
hanging), test_pty, test_strftime, and test_time.  I still need to track
down why the failures are occurring especially test_poll.

Alternatively, you can change the relevant lines in Modules/socketmodule.c,
from:

    #ifndef __BEOS__
    #include <netinet/tcp.h>
    #endif

to:

    #if !define(__BEOS__) && !define(__CYGWIN__)
    #include <netinet/tcp.h>
    #endif

I will try to get the Python source patched as above.
