I know that this doesn't really address your question at hand... but if I were in your situation I would look into just building a gcc/binutils cross compiler toolchain. Then you could run the build natively under OS X, but produce win32 binaries. You would still need VPC for testing the binaries (I presume) but OS X should have enough unix under the hood to host the build. In fact the cygwin1.dll on your system right now was probably compiled on linux, as some of the Cygwin developers (or at least cgf) use this method. (And I can understand why they do it, after I tried it myself -- a linux hosted cross gcc runs the configure && make for the Cygwin build about 2 to 3 times faster under linux on the same hardware compared to win32.)
