This change is wrong.
Somehow __uint32_t_defined gets defined and cygwin fails to define
uint32_t.
So we have hit a bug in cygwin here.
Browsing the code I think that including inttypes.h much sooner will fix it.
In file2alias.c I moved include of inttypes.h up.

I did this in an alternative way.
Replacing use of Elf32_section with Elf32_Half did the trick.
Same for the 64 bit type.
Let me know if this works on Cygwin.
I have tested with a few architectures on Linux with success.
(Needs to look into the lib part next).
Thanks for keeping attention on this.
