Yes.  Do not use the ddk headers with Cygwin.  Not only that intrin.h is
really missing(*), the ddk headers in mingw-w64 are not fit for usage in
user space code.  For that reason the latest Cygwin code does not use
these headers either.

There are two user space headers exposing ntdll stuff, winternl.h and
ntdef.h.  They partially contradict each other so they can't be used in
parallel.  Usage of winternl.h is preferred.  Wintern.h isn't exactly
set in stone upstream, so additions and fixes are welcome.
And, as a side note, <ddk/ntstatus.h> from mingw32 became just
<ntstatus.h> in mingw-w64.

(*) The next Cygwin w32api headers will come with an internl.h, due to
    an important upstream fix in terms of adding the VC++ intrinsic
    functions, but that still doesn't mean you should use the ddk
    headers.
