...which would make it not particularly good news for cygwin...

-mno-cygwin means "no cygwin" which means that cygwin is not involved
in this port at all.  You used cygwin's compiler to build it but you
cut cygwin out of the equation by specifying -mno-cygwin, making it
essentially a native windows port like you'd get if you used MSVC.
