Thanks.  I pushed a patch which will show up in the next Cygwin release:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=commitdiff;h=5717262b8ecf

Funny enough, while the GLibc version of sys/select.h does not generate
these warnings, the same problem still exists in the upstream FreeBSD
code.

For testing I uploaded a new developer snapshot to
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/  You only need to fetch the new
sys/select.h file.


Thanks,
Corinna
