Documentation on -mno-cygwin Accuracy

[Quinn Wood]

On the FAQ section 6.10 "How do I compile a Win32 executable that
doesn't use Cygwin?" reads:

"(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest
net release.)

"The -mno-cygwin flag to gcc makes gcc link against standard Microsoft
DLLs instead of Cygwin. This is desirable for native Windows programs
that don't need a UNIX emulation layer.

"This is not to be confused with 'MinGW' (Minimalist GNU for Windows),
which is a completely separate effort. That project's home page is
http://www.mingw.org/index.shtml. "

Is this indeed outdated information? The flag seems to work for some
very basic C applications, but I am having trouble with a few more
complex pieces of software.
