Whatever. 'sokay.

No. perl.h has the following stanza:

#ifdef WIN32
#  include "win32.h"
#endif

That's "win32.h", not <win32.h>.  There's a file in
<perl-src>/win32/win32.h, which is probably copied up to the toplevel
during a win32-native configure. (I'm just guessing here)

The correct fix is probably to replace the #ifdef statement with:

#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)

But the presence of that #include "win32.h" has never cause me any build
trouble; it's odd that it would only cause difficulties when building
DBD::ODBC but not other modules.
