Eh, I was unsure if submitter or reviewer provides this. Submitter it is.

In this specific case <stdio.h> includes <sys/cdefs.h>. I figure one can't depend
on what's included, or in what order. So as Brian suggested, I've added an
"#include <sys/cdefs.h>". Not every site of __inline within the Cygwin source
tree does this; I guess those will be fixed if/when reported as a problem.
v2 patch for 3.4.7 is on its way in. If it's OK I'll then submit it for 3.3.6.
Thanks all for the review comments,
