Summary: Cygwin build fails for 2.2a2

Initial Comment:
The Cygwin build fails at the compile stage with the 
error message that a working getaddrinfo function is 
needed, unless the option "--disable-ipv6" is 
selected.  

I tried that option (as well as --with-threads=no), 
and both configure and make ran successfully.  I 
started the interpreter from the Python-2.2a2 
directory and successfully imported division and 
generators from __future__.  I ran the interpreter 
test following the instructions for Cygwin and got 
this message:

1 test failed:
