I don't understand. Both functions are part of the standard
library and are linked in without giving any additional lib
when linking. gethostbynmae returns what Winsock returns
except the given name is a x.x.x.x address in which case
this address is returned.

Don't include the winsock headers by yourself when creating a
Cygwin application.

libcygwin.a which is linked in by default. No commandline switch
necessary.

/lib
