Cygwin uses a lot of mingw's infrastructure for -mno-cygwin, however, I don't believe gcj was available when I packaged gcc and gcc-mingw. gcc-mingw is just a minor repackaging of the offerings from mingw so a gcj-mingw would be similar. >They have different meanings but I guess/hope one day they'll converge. They've already converged for the most part. Obviously the compilers are different since the mingw compiler understands only MS-DOS paths and the cygwin compiler understands UNIX paths but under-the-hood they should be close to the same thing. Getting -mno-cygwin working correctly is tricky though. It doesn't help that people often think that they can get around portability problems by doing something like: gcc -mno-cygwin -I/usr/include foo.c either. cgf -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
