This looks strange.  Much more than a simple cygwin/ming32 difference.

Try the normal cygwin gcc without the -mno-cygwin option.  If that works
then at least you know you have good source files.

Then try just adding the -mno-cygwin option to the standard compiler. 
That should make it compile a ming32 like executable.  (ie. cygwin.dll
is not required to run the produced exe.)  

I have never tried to directly call ming32, I have only used the
-mno-cygwin option to emulate it behind the scenes.  (not sure how that
happens.)
