Thanks for tracking this down!

I don't recall any situation in which Cygwin preferred System V compatibility 
over Linux compatibility.  I'm attaching the commit (from November 2004) in 
which the #ifndef __CYGWIN__ was introduced.  There's no indication in the 
commit message as to the reason for the change.  I also didn't see anything 
relevant in the cygwin or cygwin-developers mailing lists from November 2004, 
but I might have missed it.

I think that commit should probably be reverted, but we should wait until 
Corinna is available.  Even though the issue is in newlib code, the code only 
affects Cygwin, so there's probably no need to involve the newlib list.  But 
again, that's Corinna's call.
