There is really no such thing as "forward declaration" for enumerated
types in C or C++ ISO standards (hence the respective language
definitions).
  
  /* This is NOT OK. */
  enum foo;
  enum foo { foo1 = 0 };

  /* This is OK however. */
  enum foo { foo1 = 0 };
  enum foo;

Well, all those other compilers have implemented this as an extension
obviously.

In any case, this is not a Cygwin issue, and if you want to lobby to get
such an extension in gcc, you'll have to use GCC forums instead. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/
