Probably the latter. Why is Cygwin changing its headers? What is it changing? 
This may help us to provide a special case in Gnulib to solve the problem.  For 
example, we might be able to add Cygwin to the existing mess of code near the 
start of lib/sys_select.in.h that does something special for __osf__ and/or for 
__sun.
