Earnie, on 3) I believe we have a terminology problem. gcc -mno-cygwin
changes the _build target_ to mingw32, no the build _environment_.

In the context of configure scripts the build _environment_ is the
platform hosting the running script, and doing the compilation - that is
cygwin.

IMO this is wrong (wrong build value) - see my comment earlier.
