All I can say, and a few times I said before, DELETE/usr/include/X11
directory. I do not think gdb abd tclk uses it. It perhaps used those
deprecated X11R5 includes files during compilation, but I see no reasons
for installing 6 files.
Rob had add this in FAQ, "DELETE /usr/include/X11".

Subject: include file
I am compiling an application that uses both jpeg
and X11. As jpeg now comes with Cygwin, the Makefile
looks for includes in /usr/include
Unfortunately /usr/include has an X11 subdirectory
with files (such as Xlib.h) incompatible with Xfree.
As a result my application crashes.
Now that I have identified the problem I can work around it.
Still this raises two questions
1) Why does cygwin need /usr/include/X11 (seems to come from gdb &
tcltk)?
2) Assuming it's needed, why can't the files be the same as for xfree.
