There are many different flavors of file descriptors under Windows and
some of them have to be mapped from the ones passed on the
commandline to the ones used by libcrt.dll - Cygwin uses its own
mapping and this might be a reason for conflicts.

Well, I suggest to use the native compiler mingw32 ;-)

No there is a problem with the used losesocket version if you are
running NT or similar.  This will get fixed in the next release.
