"Incidentally, gcc distributed with cygwin is actually multi-targeted --
it can produce binaries for two different platforms -- cygwin and
mingw. By default the resulting binary is supposed to be run on cygwin
platform, but if you add -mno-cygwin switch to command line, it switch
to MinGW target, i.e. produce a binary to be run on MinGW platform."

If you're trying to point out some other incompatibility, I didn't
understand, sorry.  I do understand that regular cygwin programs
depend on cygwin1.dll, but if it can also build in such a way that dll
is not necessary, so much the better, right?
