setup.exe may well need that in the future, if the current issues
with -mno-cygwin aren't ironed out (the old library that was floating
round - may be fixed now, and the ongoing things like the cause of this
email thread). Also the threading model for gcc for mingw is different
than for cygwin, and that may cause trouble for setup unless -mno-cygwin
is extended to change the threading model used in libgcc and in
exception handling.
