According to Ian Puleston on 1/26/2009 3:51 AM:

Yes, the compiler is looking somewhere else when you use -mno-cygwin;
after all, that option means that you are not compiling for cygwin
(implicitly, it means you are cross-compiling for mingw).  The confusion
caused by this option that turns on cross-compilation is also the reason
that the gcc-4 release will not support -mno-cygwin.  Search the list
archives for more details.  Ask the mingw list if you need more details of
why mingw does not provide iconv.h.
