My testing shows that OP's original issue goes away when libtirpc is compiled to 
use Cygwin's bindresvport() directly rather than using its own version of that 
function.

Raimund, could you try this newest possible solution?  Before the first #include 
in bindresvport.c, add the line
     #ifndef __CYGWIN__
and at the end of the file, add the line
     #endif
Then rebuild your libtirpc and your test programs linking against it, then run 
your tests.  If this proves to solve your original problem then I'll submit a 
patch of libtirpc to the Cygwin package maintainer.

Thank you,

..mark
