Yes, but on Linux, sysmacros.h contains more than just minor, major and makedev.


Also, on the Linuxes I checked (RHEL 4, Ubuntu 8.10, SLES 10.2, SUSE
10.0, SLES 9), it is guarded by a #ifdef:

#ifdef  __USE_BSD
/* In BSD <sys/types.h> is expected to define BYTE_ORDER.  */
# include <endian.h>

/* It also defines `fd_set' and the FD_* macros for `select'.  */
# include <sys/select.h>

/* BSD defines these symbols, so we follow.  */
# include <sys/sysmacros.h>
#endif /* Use BSD.  */


__USE_BSD is defined only if _BSD_SOURCE is defined. Perhaps Cygwin
could follow suit here too.
