rsync - Sep 2004 - [repost] Problem compiling 2.6.3.pre1 and pre2 under Cygwin with Mingw

Can anybody offer usggestions on what to do, or where else to ask? 
thanks --nils.

Hello, I'm trying to compile rsync under Cygwin using Mingw, but without
success so far.  The same problem appears in pre2.

$ CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' ./configure --build=mingw32
configure: Configuring rsync 2.6.3pre1
checking build system type... i386-pc-mingw32
checking host system type... i386-pc-mingw32
checking target system type... i386-pc-mingw32
checking for gcc... gcc -mno-cygwin
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.exe
...
checking for socklen_t... no
checking for socklen_t equivalent... configure: error: Cannot find a type to
use in place of socklen_t
$

In a Mail from 2002 I found the following:

...but haven't been able to get it to work, since I can't figure out how
to
include this in the config check (or even if this is still the correct
solution).  I've attached the config log.

Thanks for any help!

Have you tried the Cygwin mailing lists?

Trying to get rsync to compile without the extra support of the cygwin
library is likely to be a large project.  I don't know of anyone who has
done it.  Sorry to be so little help, but that's all the info I have.
