The reason for your problem is that there is no file netinet/sctp.h on
Cygwin.  The reason why there is no such file on Cygwin is that Windows does
not support the sctp protocol natively and nobody implemented sctp for
Cygwin so far.

There's a free implementation of SCTP for various platforms
under the GPL here: http://www.sctp.de/

You can try to build it for Cygwin and, ideally, maintain it for the
Cygwin net distro.  See http://cygwin.com/setup.html

However, there's *no* good reason to hijack an entirely unrelated thread.
If you have questions, open your own thread.
