It's the other way around.  Cygwin's winbase.h comes from MinGW.  If
there is an issue you need to take it up with the MingW folks.

Ah OK - will do then.

OTOH, for Cygwin programs you shouldn't be using winbase.h at all.

For pure cygwin yes, but we wanted a common abstracted polling for asynchronous transfers on Windows platforms, since poll() it's not available in MSVC, and the only option then is to use an OVERLAPPED.

Anyway, thanks for the reply.
