At this point I'm pretty much a cargo-cult programmer, but for
whatever it's worth

i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
will build a non-gui *.exe program - which is a dos program, yes?

and for a windows program:

if test $target_type = mingw; then
  WIN_ONLY=
  CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DWINVER=0x501"
  SPECIAL_CFLAGS="-mwindows"
dnl from the cygwin FAQ: The regular setup allows you to use the
-mwindows option
dnl to include a set of the basic libraries user32, gdi32 and comdlg32.
dnl (and also make your program a GUI program instead of a console program)
  PTHREAD_LIB=-lpthread
  echo "Using mingw32 (Win32 GUI)"
else

Regards,
Lee
