Ah yes, sure, here were Cygwin functions (which only calls corresponding
Windows functions) mixed up with functions of bind. Unfortunately Cygwin
and newlib include no resolver which is very bad in this case.
So I need to use bind and make sure that the native Windows functions are
not used.

Yes, always problems with cr/lf lineendings, but most of these are
handled by libcygwin, I think it should work if I get the resolver
stuff to work.
