there was at least another one
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-06/msg00195.html

The -mno-cygwin option was removed long time ago and only available in 
the gcc-3.x or before

Never saw before the "-mcygwin" that I suppose was just doing
the reverse so the default in cygwin . Just try removing it.

from your output "D:\Programme\cygwin\bin\gcc.exe -mcygwin -mdll -O 
-Wall -IC:\Users\..." it seems that no one updated that package
  build system by very long time..

Marco
