GNU indent does what it should do without switches. The GNU coding
standard is the default. However, I suggest to change your patched
sources by hand since there are two problems with indent. On one
hand it's sometimes not that clever when indenting C++ sources and
- most important - if you indent all concerned files they will be
reformated everywhere and your patch will include parts which you
never touched.

I see. You should be able to use it anyway by including asm/socket.h.
The macro expands to a constant expression. I understand that including
asm/socket.h seems to make not much sense. Probably we should create
a asm/ioctls.h file like in Linux.

Anyway, may I suggest to discuss that in cygwin-patches AT cygwin DOT com?

Good ol' COM...

As above: Let's discuss that in cygwin-patches AT cygwin DOT com.
