You're right, -mno-cygwin for the Cygwin product is not the same as the Native
Win32 GCC compiler/binutils set of tools known as MinGW.  I'm cross-posting to
put this discussion in the correct list.

What was the syntax of your configure command?  If you didn't configure with
the -mno-cygwin switch then you configured for Cygwin.  You would then have to
add the -mno-cygwin switch to CFLAGS by modifying the Makefile.  I think your
results will be unpredictable and undefined.

You could try:
  CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' configure
  make CFLAGS='-O2 -ggdb -mno-cygwin'
but, I don't know what the results will be.
