Really?  I thought my change to the specs file that was in the full
20.1 distribution fixed this problem.  It should pick the right
headers and Mingw stub libraries as long as you're doing C programming
with some combination of stdc and Win32 API calls.

That said, for C++ programming, you still need the mingw configuration
since the libstdc++ and libiberty libraries are still Cygwin-linked;
this is a hard problem to solve but needs to be at some point.

If this is not correct, please let me know so I can readjust my brain
accordingly.
