GCC compiling issue with python.h (multiple definitions of __BSD_VISIBLE)

["Yan Zhu" <yzhu at calterah dot com>]

Hi, Cygwin team

With latest cygwin (python 3.4 and gcc 5.4.0), I got compiling issue with duplicated definition of macro __BSD_VISIBLE. Following is a simple example to expose the issue:

#include <string>
#include <Python.h>
#include <vector>
#include <map>
//#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    return 0;
}

After compiling with " g++ -g -O2 -std=c++11 test.c -o test `python3-config --includes`", I got following error:

In file included from /usr/include/python3.4m/Python.h:8:0,
                 from test.c:2:

/usr/include/sys/time.h:104:34: error: 'u_int' has not been declared bintime_mul(struct bintime *_bt, u_int _x)

One tricky thing is that if I include <string> after "Python.h". Compiling goes through. I don't see this issue on linux/Mac OS.

I don't see this is a valid solution. Since with more complicated code, I run into a segment default at very beginning of the program.

Thanks

Yan
