Single Unix Specification version 2 -- a standard cygwin is trying to comply with -- doesn't include such file. Newer versions of standard do include this file, but a lot of systems (a quick check reveals FreeBSD 4.7, along with cygwin) doesn't provide this file yet. So if you want to make your program portable across wide range of platforms, you shouldn't rely on recent versions of standards because it takes time for system implementors to catch up. Instead, you should check in configure script if this file exists, and if not, provide your own declaration for uint8_t, and other types and constants your program needs. Additionally, you may provide a patch to add this file to cygwin, and if done properly, it will be gratefully accepted.
