You could test using the binary...

stddef.h is provided by the compiler:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/include/stddef.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 corinna vinschen 12542 Oct 23  2011 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/include/stddef.h
$ cygcheck -f /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/include/stddef.h
gcc4-core-4.5.3-3

I don't see how this can fail.
