Thanks. If you are interested, let me try to give a chronology of follow on events as best as I can
reconstruct:

1:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
> Wrong place to look, surely?

Oddly enough, that helped :)
OK, so I copied sockio.h and also needed ioccom.h. Just to be clear,

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/newlib/libc/sys/linux/sys/ioccom.h?cvsroot=src

my install is messed up so I'm not sure this problem applies to anyone else
but I'm just being complete incase it matters.

2:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Then, I encountered a define problem. This seems to have occured elsewhere
so I thought I would post the issue with definition of ssize_t: 

http://code.google.com/p/xdelta/issues/detail?id=56

This turned out to be flagged with __CYGWIN__ and also easy to fix in the makefile.

3::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

But, then I had a missing definition for IFF_POINTOPOINT which does seem to be 
an issue with cygwin. According to this, the symbol should be defined in if.h: 

https://www.linux-foundation.org/dbadmin/browse/headgroup.php?cmd=list-byheadgroup&HGid=437

my if.h needed to be modified, 

#define IFF_LOOPBACK    0x8             /* is a loopback net            */
//
#define IFF_POINTOPOINT    0x10            /* mjm,            */
// https://www.linux-foundation.org/dbadmin/browse/headgroup.php?cmd=list-byheadgroup&HGid=437

#define IFF_NOTRAILERS  0x20            /* avoid use of trailers        */

4: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Next, a problem with INET6_ADDSTRLEN16. I found this and implemented the suggestion,


http://viral.media.mit.edu/peers/peers-win.html

#if defined(__CYGWIN__) 
#define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16 
#define INET6_ADDRSTRLEN 46 
#endif /* __CYGWIN__ */

which again seemed to work but I have no idea what other problems may turn up if this isn't right.

5::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Then I finally encountered a big link problem and determined that some pieces
were built with and without -mno-cygwin. I was finally able to stop it from complaining
by grepping all the libraries for the missing symbols and just randomly adding stuff
but, duh, the executable wouldn't run. I can probably figure this out but I've never built anything with -mno-cygwin before
so it will probably take a while.



Thanks.
