Paul,

When you give the -mno-cygwin flag to gcc, you're invoking the MinGW
runtime/environment.  MinGW stands for "Minimalist GNU for Windows" (the
keyword here is "Minimalist").  It doesn't supply all of POSIX emulation,
and it's very likely that some of the headers (and system calls) aren't
available in it.

You will most likely have to implement a lot of the functionality using
Windows native calls (e.g. winsock, etc).  It also looks like you're
pulling in the Cygwin versions of perl headers - while not an error in
itself, this might be a warning flag, since Cygwin and MinGW runtimes
usually don't mix well.
