Should sys/types.h include sys/sysmacros.h?

In the process of trying to build the latest Python CVS, I get a link
error due to the following line:
res = mknod(filename, mode, makedev(major, minor));
After building successfully under Linux, I determined that the above
works because Linux's sys/types.h includes sys/sysmacros.h.
Should newlib's sys/types.h include sys/sysmacros.h (possibly only for
Cygwin)?
I tried searching:

but came up empty.
Thanks,
Jason
P.S. I understand that Cygwin's mknod() always returns ENOSYS...
