It should be disabled because Cygwin does not provide this function.

What about implementing sethostname instead?

   extern "C" int
   sethostname (const char *name, size_t len)
...

I didn't consider this as an alternative because I guessed that it is intentional that sethostname is missing. (it is not a typical that someone wants to use Cygwin to change the name of a Windows machine)
