-mno-win32 will override -mwin32, I'm not sure why (maybe just flag order).

I'm not sure my suggestion is correct.  This could be a bug in
tcl/cygwin/configure.in where some how -mno-win32 isn't being
set in the tcl/cygwin build.  I think you are right, setting
CC="gcc -mwin32" shouldn't break the build.
