Since you did not include junk.c in your post, I can only guess.  I
think that you are having a similar problem to what I encountered while
building PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on Cygwin 1.1.4.  See the following for more
details:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-09/msg00791.html

I resolved my problem by replacing /usr/include/cygwin/cygwin_dll.h with
one from the development snapshots.  I used the following successfully:

    http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/snapshots/cygwin-src-20000918.tar.bz2/winsup/cygwin/include/cygwin/cygwin_dll.h

Hope the above helps.
