The mixed option existed briefly in a custom version of cygwin1.dll.
Sergey Okhapkin had developed a patch for that, and his 'coolview'
version of the B20.1 cygwin1.dll was distributed on his web page. It was
not official, nor was it supported by Cygnus. 

The mixed option doesn't exist in the more recent cygwin's. If you would
like to 'roll your own', you could get Sergey's patch, update it to
apply to the 1.1.x cygwin source code, and build your own dll. However,
I don't think that option will be supported by the mainstream kernel,
since it leads to a lot of undesirable behavior on Windows.

BTW, the environment variable is no longer 'CYGWIN32' -- it's 'CYGWIN'.
Are you still using a B20.1 cygwin?
