Correction, my last post was ambiguous:

\\\\.\\com6 gives me  "Device or resource busy", while all other com*
give me "not existing".
So, it is definitely better, it finds something! But do not yet works.

====> Opening and read/writing to COM6 with native win32 API (readfile
etc) works well, both compiled with and without -mno-cygwin
