I built using an older version of Cygwin (i.e, 1.5.12-1).

None. See below...
The "root cause" is the following:
under Cygwin 1.5.12-1:
$ configure
[snip]
checking for inet_pton... no
[snip]
under Cygwin 1.5.18-1:
$ configure
[snip]
checking for inet_pton... yes
[snip]
So, when you build under 1.5.18-1, pyconfig.h has the following:
#define HAVE_INET_PTON 1
This causes a chunk of code in socketmodule.c to be compiled under
1.5.18-1 that wasn't compiled before.
I will have to research why INET_ADDRSTRLEN is not defined under Cygwin
and submit a patch to Cygwin or Python as appropriate.
Thanks for bringing this problem to my attention.
