I fixed this issue by editing /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h to comment
out the second line of:

/* Define on FreeBSD to activate all library features */
#define __BSD_VISIBLE 1

This seemed like the right thing to do since Cygwin isn't FreeBSD, and
the problem went away.

Is this an oversight in python-devel package?  Issue doesn't occur in
32-bit version.
