To make things clear, let me show what happened to my file after the
macro expasion:

class wormHole {
   int sock;
   struct hostent *targetAddr;
   struct sockaddr_in target;

   public:
      wormHole (int kind = streamSocket);
      callTarget (char *target_name, int port);
      cygwin32_socket  (void) { return sock; }
};

Note that cygwin32_socket replaced the original socket function.

Now take a look a the constructor:

wormHole::wormHole (int kind = streamSocket) {
(*)   sock = cygwin32_socket  (2 , kind, 0);
}

Get it?  The compiler thinks that this (*) call of cygwin32_socket is
from the wormHole class, not the original from the sockets library!

Anyway, if I #undef'ed socket I would loose this expansion.
