These are causing the problem it seems: ULONG, USHORT, PVOID, etc.
Could be that cygwin needs another header file to be included
prior to including sqltypes.h - the one that defines ULONG etc.

In mxODBC 2.1.0 which is not available outside the mxODBC Zope DA,
the following was added to mxODBC.h near the top (line 213):

"""
/* For cygwin, we need the Windows #defines here in addition to any
    SQL header files. */

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
# include <windows.h>
#endif
"""

(and the records says that this was suggested by Steve Holden ;-)
