If you add -mno-cygwin, then you are trying to compile GPA for MinGW, not
Cygwin.

Aaargh! First you tell gcc to not use cygwin, then you tell it to sort-of
use cygwin.
No wonder its confused!

Solution: Don't do that.

Do you actually intend to compile GPA for MinGW or Cygwin?
If Cygwin, drop the -mno-cygwin.
If MinGW, make sure the gcc-mingw package is installed.
