Readers,
Maybe I'm facing a known problem, but I at a glance saw no posts or README's about this subject of OpenGL includes suddenly generating
errors after a relatively recent cygwin upgrade.
Well, if you looked for posts, you didn't look very thoroughly, because you would have found that it is a known problem:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-02/msg00990.html
and follow-ups.
Did the bindings or the include file names change, or should I add some new switch #define ?
Below's the short error output.

As a work around, you could add to your compile line:
"-Dwchar_t=unsigned short" don't forget the double quotes.
and:
I just figured out with diff that there's probably just one line in error, which I commented out, and there some stuff removed.
It compiled again, but I still wonder how it all is with glu.h !
Theo.
For the record, this is caused by a bug in glu.h, which is now part of the w32api package, not the OpenGL package. It seems that the bug was fixed in Mingw's CVS, but a new w32api package including that fix has not been released yet.
You could also try to downgrade the w32api package to the previous version using setup.
