Ouch.  Lots of gnulib code assumes that sys/types.h exists and works.
(The only exception is the socklen module itself.)

I would.  Google reports that other mingw32 users have <sys/types.h>,
e.g., see <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2004-02/msg00010.html>.

With Debian, the mingw32 sys/types.h is part of the mingw32-runtime
package; you can't really cross-compile without it.
