__USE_BSD is defined by default when compiling applications on Linux. Cygwin/newlib does not have the complex system of defines which differ between BSD/SYSV/POSIX/GNU/C89/C99/etc and allow to include and exclude symbols based on that. The newlib system is much less elaborate. We simply lack the volunteering manpower Linux and glibc have.
