It took me some time to download & install latest cygwin. Yes, it does
have MAXHOSTNAMELEN, but...

/* Max hostname size that can be dealt with */
/* FIXME: is this the appropriate value? */
#define MAXHOSTNAMELEN 64

I have no idea where to report this issue. However, even if this gets
fixed, older installations will suffer shortened (128 characters) host
names. A note on cygwin at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-2.html page should be added
I think, stating

make MAXHOSTNAMELEN=256

has to be used.

By the way, sections in squid.h and util.h which #define
SQUIDHOSTNAMELEN differ a bit.

As of MinGW, didn't install it yet. I'll report my findings ASAP.
