Juergen,

This particular problem is a known issue with cygwin on (at least)
win98se (nb. it works fine on my win2k box).  See
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2002-07/msg00167.html (and
followups) for some discussion.

I'm sort of thinking about looking at it RSN, but I keep letting
myself get distracted :-)

p.s. In your makefile, try something more like the following to
link:

    gcc  -o testcase testcase.o -lwsock32

On my setup, for example, libwsock32.a is not in the default
location (and also my TERM is not "cygwin": it's "xterm"), i.e.
YMMV.
