Right, MinGW provides string.h not strings.h because MS doesn't provide
strings.h.

Setup, strace, possibly more build with the -mno-cygwin switch picking
up the MinGW headers.

There should be nothing to fix.  If there is then you've done something
wrong in the setup or building the program.  Using -mno-cygwin should
only give you MinGW headers and never the Cygwin headers.  The only way
I can think of that this would happen is if you also added a
-I/usr/include to the gcc build options or if you modified the gcc
source and rebuilt it yourself.

Earnie.
