Thanks for taking a look at it. 
This is on a 32-bit Windows, if that has any significance?

However I now figured out a workaround and got it to work.

**1:** `ext/win32/resolv/extconf.rb` has to be modified like so:

~~~ ruby
# if have_library('iphlpapi', 'GetNetworkParams')
  create_makefile('win32/resolv')
# end
~~~

I.e. the test for GetNetworkParams has to be commented out, because this is the test that starts all the trouble.

**2:** Once `ext/win32/resolv/Makefile` has been generated then `-liphlpapi` has to be manually added to the `LIBS` line in the Makefile.

Now everything compiles, and the resolver works as it should. 

**3:** However there is one more thing which needs to be done, and that is a full Cygwin rebase of the Ruby dynamic link libraries, otherwise you will get a lot of errors like this:

~~~ ruby
9876 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'utf_16be.so' (0x270000) is already occupied
~~~

For anyone else running into this issue follow the instructions for rebasing here:
https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/3309
And here:
http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Rebaseall
 
After these 3 steps are done, I now have it fully working.

I think there is something wrong with the 32-bit detection of GetNetworkParams(?), also it seems there's a missing rebase at the end of the installation.

In any case, with the above tricks, it works fine now.

Bug #15097: Gem install fails on Ruby 2.5.1 with Cygwin (get_dns_server_list undefined)

----------------------------------------
Compiled and installed Ruby 2.5.1 on Cygwin, and now gem install fails with:

~~~ ruby
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NameError)
    undefined local variable or method `get_dns_server_list' for Win32::Resolv:Module

~~~

While building Ruby I got the following warning:

~~~ ruby
win32/resolv:
        Could not be configured. It will not be installed.
        Check ext/win32/resolv/mkmf.log for more details.
~~~

The error in mkmf.log is:

~~~ ruby
/ruby-2.5.1/ext/win32/resolv/conftest.c:14: undefined reference to `GetNetworkParams'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
~~~

The mkmf.log is also attached.

Could not figure out how to fix this problem. 
Is 2.5.1 not compatible with Cygwin?
