No, there's no way to do this using existing cygwin tools.

You could build a cross-compiler to do this.  It's a complicated task,
though.  It would require regenerating a new version of gcc and bringing
over all of the libraries for linux to your PC.

If you do a google search for "cross compiler" you'll be off to a good
start if you want to try this.  The crossgcc at sources.redhat.com
mailing list is also designed for dealing with cross compilers.
