"doesn't matter," your answer suffices. If the answer is yes, something must be modified. My fix was to add the -ansi switch to the build flags, however, there's probably a less invasive way than requiring the compiler to only use ansi compliant features.
Maybe cygwin povides another header file for the definition of __u64?
