As Brian said, the cygwin compiler will configure and make with no problems, except that -mno-cygwin doesn't work. For a no-cygwin compiler, this is what I did -- I'm not saying it's a good idea. First ftp your sources from GNU. (I only took gcc-core and gcc-g++). Use setup to make sure you've got gcc-3.4.5 and anything with mingw in the package name, and maybe gmp, flex and bison. (I don't know exactly what is required. It turns out I already had everything I needed.) ../<...>/configure --disable-nls --program-suffix=<...> \ --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-mingw32 make ## failure; can't find ln -s /usr/include/w32api /usr/i686-pc-ming32/sys-include # (stupid hack) make ## failure; can't find i686-pc-mingw32-ar.exe for x in as ld ar nm strip ranlib # (stupid hack) do ln -s /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/$x.exe /usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-$x.exe done make make install The resulting compiler does seem to make working native binaries, at least for my program, which doesn't explicitly use DLLs or exceptions. Final thought: this probably wasn't worth the trouble.
