If you are using any Cygwin header for the build of a system that is
to be hosted in some other OS then I suspect you do not know how to
properly do a cross build environment.  To build the Linux kernel
under Cygwin requires you have the proper libraries and headers for
Linux installed in the cross environment.  It should not be using the
libraries and headers provided by the Cygwin build environment.
