I did explain it upthread:
" - profs.h isn't needed anymore, since I've implemented cygwin cross-core
support a few weeks ago (in i386-cygwin-tdep.c).  The include can be
       unconditionally removed."

The #include was introduced in Egor's original core support patch.

sys/procfs.h:

#ifndef _SYS_PROCFS_H
#define _SYS_PROCFS_H

#include <cygwin/core_dump.h>

#endif /* _SYS_PROCFS_H */

cygwin/core_dump.h describes the structures used in Cygwin core files.

Gdb doesn't use them anymore.  Instead the structures are read in
host-independent form in i386-cygwin-tdep.c:core_process_module_section.
