As the sys/linux above implies, this is linux-specific code. It has no
bearing for cygwin.

Sorry but you're very confused by this point. Compiling with -mno-cygwin means
that you can't use ANY cygwin headers. You won't be able to create an executable
which works this way.
When Dave said "...cygwin doesn't supply or support <sys/sockio.h>" he wasn't
kidding. It isn't supplied and copying it from a random source and randomly
making changes is not going to work.
