stock inetutils assumes that tftp.h is provided by the system, for 
whatever reason:

         * headers/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Target removed.
         (header_dirs): Variable removed.
         (EXTRA_DIST): Variable removed.

         * headers/confpaths.h.in,  headers/crypt.h,  headers/err.h,
         headers/getopt.h, headers/obstack.h, headers/osockaddr.h,
         headers/paths.h, headers/poll.h, headers/syslog-int.h,
         headers/arpa/DISTFILES, headers/arpa/ftp.h, headers/arpa/telnet.h,
         headers/arpa/tftp.h, headers/protocols/DISTFILES,
         headers/protocols/talkd.h: Files removed.

In the past (e.g. when tftp[d].exe was compiled and shipped as part of 
the cygwin inetutils package), one of the custom cygwin patches was to 
add tftp.h and other headers back into the inetutils src tree -- and 
thence to install them onto the end user's system.  However, when 
tftp[d].exe was split off (and built using a different upstream source 
code provider, which unlike inetutils supported IPv6) and Gernot took 
over maintainership, I removed those patches to inetutils and "allowed" 
the tftpd package to provide them instead.

So, yes, there is a build dependency between inetutils and tftp now.
