  Right; the -mno-cygwin feature in GCC-3 was a bit of a hack that
more-or-less turned the compiler into a cross-compiler for MinGW.  That
feature never worked entirely correctly - IIRC there were still some cygwin
headers or libs in the default search paths that could have caused problems -
and in GCC-4 the option has been removed.  We'll be shipping a specific GCC-4
MinGW cross-compiler later this summer, in the meantime you need to stick with
GCC-3 for MinGW cross-compilation.

    cheers,
      DaveK
