In theory that would be netdb.h, but apparently we forgot to declare
the function there and nobody missed it so far.  I applied a patch to
CVS so the declaration will be added to the next Cygwin release.

For the time being, just declare the function in your source file, in
C++ for instance:

  extern "C" struct hostent *gethostbyname2 (const char *, int);
