I cheated, but I got it to work.

1. netinet/ip_icmp.h included cygwin/icmp.h, which is empty.  I copied
   the netinet/ip_icmp.h from my NetBSD 2.0 box and replaced the default
   one.

2. The program checks to see if you are running as a UID other than 0
   and exits, I just commented this section out.

It compiles, it runs, you want a copy?

$ make
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -g -O2 -c fping.c
gcc  -g -O2  -o fping  fping.o
