You may need headers that define the above types, or you may be unable to
compile the code with -mno-cygwin if those headers are not present in
MinGW.
Remember, -mno-cygwin means "no Cygwin" -- you're using MinGW, and will
only be able to compile programs that MinGW has enough support for.
Further questions about this should really be directed to a MinGW list...
