    Cygwin: fix mknod (64-bit only)
    
    The current definition of mknod in syscalls.cc has a third argument of
    type __dev16_t instead of dev_t.  Fix this on 64-bit Cygwin by making
    the existing mknod 32-bit only and then exporting mknod as an alias
    for mknod32.  (No fix is needed on 32-bit because mknod is redirected
    to mknod32 via NEW_FUNCTIONS in Makefile.am.)
