Well at least I'll contribute _something_ useful. I guess I'd better
be alone when I do this...

Seriously though, what I think I hear you saying is that when
-mno-cygwin is fully deprecated  I'll need to build a cross compiler
for native Windows executables, much like I've already done by
building a cross compiler for embedded ARM7 variants under Cygwin.

In other words, if it's possible to build a native windows exe under
Linux, it will be possible under Cygwin as well ;-)

Cheers, Ralph
