Apparently not.

Because the compiler options specified included -I/usr/include.  He was
responding to your question about "why am i getting this warning".  Your
command line looked like this:

> /bin/gcc -c -g -mno-cygwin -I. -I../../include -I/usr/include/mingw -I/usr/include -DCYGWIN mksf.c
>                                                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^

In the example that you specified there was no hint that it wasn't
found.  In fact, you said "this works" (sic).  You were asking
about a warning.

You specified -I/usr/include/mingw on the command line and it is already
included by default when you use -mno-cygwin.

Let me say it again.  If you want to compile a windows-only app, you
just use -mno-cygwin.  If you find that some function is missing when
you do this, that means that the function is likely missing from the
mingw distribution.  The solution in this case is not to link in the
bits that you need from cygwin directories.  -mno-cygwin is supposed to
be a world by itself.  You usually can't mix it with cygwin bits and get
anything useful.
