That's a good place to point to my extended "how to port to 64 bit" FAQ,
starting here:

  http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.programming.64bitporting

Please read this first.

Basically, what you see here...

...is a typical type conflict.  ULONG is a Windows type defined as
unsigned long in the Win32 API.  The Win32 data model is LLP64, so
unsigned long is 4 bytes.  However, Cygwin is LP64, so unsigned long is
8 bytes.  Therefore the `typedef unsigned long ULONG;' is wrong for 64
bit.  Either drop the definition entirely, or redefine it matching the
data model:

  #ifdef __LP64__
  typedef unsigned int ULONG;
  #else
  typedef unsigned long ULONG;
  #endif
