linking cygwin against non-cygwin

Hi,
I am looking to have a gui developed for some cygwin compiled
code I am using. I am curious as to the approach others have taken
here. I see a number of possible ways it could work. Which of these
are actually practical?
- Compile non-cygwin gui code with cygwin's gcc and libraries
to form a cygwin binary. This may involve some changes to
include directives, some tweaking of headers and libs.
- Compile parts with cygwin and parts with non-cygwin tools
and link them together.
- Compile everything with non-cygwin tools and link against
cygwin libraries and/or dlls.
There's also the possibility of using some gui code that is
already written for cygwin (like tk), but we probably won't be
taking that approach. If anyone has found a gui package for cygwin
that they find extraordinarily good, I would be interested in
hearing about it though.
