Don't do that. It's not necessary and won't help. When you specify
-mno-cygwin you switch to using MinGW's version of gcc, an entirely
separate version of gcc that is installed alongside the Cygwin version.
This is why you must install the gcc-mingw-* packages for this to work.
Incidently, I don't understand how you managed to at first install
gcc-core but *not* gcc-mingw-core, since gcc-core lists gcc-mingw-core
as a prerequisite in the setup.ini file (and so on for the other
languages), so selecting one should have selected the other, and
breaking this dependancy should have given you a big fat warning
message.
The cc1 that it is looking for when you use -mno-cygwin should be
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4/cc1.exe. What does "ls -l
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.4/" show? Did you have any problems
running the postinstall scripts? Do you have any that are not renamed
.done? What does "ls -l /etc/postinstall/gcc*" show?

This is part of mingw-runtime, and should be present in /usr/lib/mingw.
