Strange problem trying to compile tcpd

Cool... percent_m.c does use an extern call, I will try that...

btw, does someone have a working inetd.conf that I can look at?  one
does not ship on the CD and my only other refs are Solaris :)

Did you search for extern declarations of sys_nerr and sys_errlist?
Some programs do a

	extern int sys_nerr;
	extern char *sys_errlist[]

which is wrong for Cygwin.

You'll have to do sth like that:

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
#  define sys_nerr _sys_nerr
#  define sys_errlist _sys_errlist
#else
   extern int sys_nerr;
   extern char *sys_errlist[]
#endif
