I've checked in two patches which should solve that problem.
newlib/libc/include/sys/types.h includes <cygwin/types.h>
now always if __CYGWIN__ is defined and cygwin/types.h defines
the pthread stuff now only if _POSIX_THREADS is defined.
So sys/sysmacros.h is now included (more or less) unconditionally
and especially the uid16/32_t etc. types are defined, too.
