Cross compiling: general include headers "missing" (here: coreutils 7.5)

Hi,

followed the setup for cross compiling written on the GnuWin32
homepage at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html
Then wanted to compile the latest coreutils version 7.5, to get all
shasum executables.

After two small patches (attached) I fixed the only problem with
./configure.
The error was "could not determine how to read list of mounted file
systems".
The fixes are adopted from
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12151.html

Unfortunately when calling make, it stops compiling due to missing
headers (here sys/wait.h for savewd.c).
When searching my disk I recognized that these headers are already
present in the CygWin installation under /usr/include.
Searched the web for how to add /usr/include as an additional include
dir, but failed.
Checking the configure script there is already a definition and code
for /usr/include (look for "oldincludedir").

Can somebody please help and tell me how to do this correctly?

Btw when I don't use MinGW gcc, only CygWin, then it compiles fine,
but the executable depends on the CgyWin DLLs. :(
