While I agree with the general idea, I have to add the obligatory hint
that there are many projects out there which build environment requires
`gcc -mno-cygwin' to work. All of them will break with at least 50% of
the lost user base asking on the Cygwin list for help.
So I'm wondering if we are not better off with sticking to the
`gcc -mno-cygwin' interface, regardless how this is implemented under
the hood.

Sorry, but we don't support Linux on this mailing list. ;)
