Replace
  #include <bits/signum.h>
with
  #include <sys/wait.h>

at the top of that file.  Then you're going to run into a link error later,
because the source-code in the src/telnet subdir is not cygwin compatible: 

------------------------<snip!>------------------------
dk@mace /test/mudtelnet/mudtelnet-1.03-1/src> make
cd telnet ; make

make: *** [telnet/mudtelnet] Error 2
dk@mace /test/mudtelnet/mudtelnet-1.03-1/src>
------------------------<snip!>------------------------

which is because of this code in src/telnet/sys_bsd.c:

------------------------<snip!>------------------------
#ifdef	SIGTSTP
	(void) signal(SIGTSTP, SIG_DFL);
# ifndef SOLARIS
	(void) sigsetmask(sigblock(0) & ~(1<<(SIGTSTP-1)));
# else	SOLARIS
	(void) sigrelse(SIGTSTP);
# endif	SOLARIS
#endif	/* SIGTSTP */
------------------------<snip!>------------------------

  It uses the sigblock and sigsetmask functions, which are not implemented
in cygwin (and indeed aren't required by the POSIX/SuSv6).  That's strange.
The binaries they offer on the website don't reference those functions.
Maybe SIGTSTP didn't used to be defined in the cygwin environment when they
compiled it, but has since been defined.  I added the following line:

#undef SIGTSTP

just after this line:

#include "telnet_locl.h"

at the top of that file, and got what appeared to be a basically working
.exe, although the final copy in the makefile failed and I had to fish it
out of the telnet subdir.

    cheers,
      DaveK

Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
