You have a typedef in the struct (which I'm surprised works), so that seems to
 be why you're getting the C2274 error[1].

nbase_winunix.h defines these before it includes the Windows headers:

#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

Have you tried defining these, or including nbase.h (which includes
nbase_winunix.h on Windows)?

nsock_internal.h includes nbase.h and also uses fd_set without problem, so
there is hope :)
