-mno-cygwin, in other words.  So "native" (e.g. MSYS) mingw builds are 
not affected by this?

That's not so bad. Although, it should NOT use cygwin's 
sys_lib_search_path_spec -- you'd pull in all of the cygwin-dependent 
libz's and libncurses's.  What you want is to ADD /usr/lib/w32api to the 
"standard" 'gcc -mno-cygwin' search path.  That "standard" path already 
includes the right gcc runtime directory, and already includes 
/usr/lib/mingw via some symlinks.  You just need to add 
-L/usr/lib/w32api -- we know that nothing in there is cygwin-dependent.

I believe there are a few checks for -mno-cygwin already sprinkled 
around in the code.  Wanna submit a patch as outlined above?
