I was tinkering with cross compiling the Linux kernel on Cygwin 1.7 and
go a new error since the last time. The kernel compression now uses some
more elf definitions for x86 which are in elf.h on Linux but in
ELFTypes.h on Cygwin 1.7. You cannot include both because there is a
conflict between elf.h and ELFTypes.h. This is in addition to the
non-x86 elf definitions used on Linux by scripts/mod/modpost which are
not available in the elf.h on Cygwin.
