The Cygnus GNU-Win32 compiler has a libsocket.a which I think interfaces
with Winsock (since the executables produced with this compiler are Win32
executables). I haven't tested though if the sockets functionality is
there in GNU-Win32 (at least the version I have) because I don't use
Win32. But, it might be helpful to take a look at the source code for
libsocket.a (since it's GPL'ed) and start from there.
Cheers.
