  Ok, that's everything you need.

  Nothing is missing.  What is happening is that cygwin's mingw
cross-compiler is actually built-in to the main system gcc.  You activate it
by passing the flag "-mno-cygwin" to gcc.  So you need to tell configure to
use the main system compiler and pass this flag when compiling.  This can be
done by adding

  CC_FOR_TARGET="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX_FOR_TARGET="g++ -mno-cygwin"


    cheers,
