We have a report (#1001857) that the socket module does not build on Cygwin. Can anybody confirm that?

By "anybody", did you mean anybody that you know & trust? <0.5 wink>.

I can duplicate the process outlined in the bug report and get the same failure to compile (I've added a note to it).

However, I don't know much more than that! (If I even use python in cygwin I typically use the distributed binary).
