Greetings, the following will fail to build with recent cygwin (works with cygwin-legacy though) :
$ cat > t.c #include <rpc/rpc.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; } ^D $ make t cc t.c -o t In file included from /usr/include/rpc/rpc.h:61, from t.c:1: /usr/include/rpc/svc.h:83: error: field `xp_raddr' has incomplete type make: *** [t] Error 1 the problem being that xp_raddr is being defined as "struct sockaddr_in" and that is not being defined on cygwin's version of rpc.h (it is upstream, on linux and opensolaris) there is a changelog entry from 2003 that mention that include was added and later removed but couldn't find any more references to it to know about the rationale behind it.
