Jeff,

Cygwin isn't based on any particular flavor of UNIX.  Trying Linux or
FreeBSD flavors may make things work in some cases.  Its doubtful that this
will be a general "fix" for you though.  Usually running "configure" will
allow you to build a package without getting into particular #ifdefs.  Its
generally recommended that you go this route before anything else.  If this
doesn't work, you're stuck trying to resolve the individual problems as you
find them (and/or experiment with setting various defines to the options you
find used in the code of the package).

I expect this information doesn't help too much but it should, at least, 
keep you from waiting forever for an answer to a question that no one can 
really help with in any definitive terms...
