  Yes, use the -mno-cygwin flag (as well as -shared if building a .dll).
That will give you an .exe or .dll that is essentially a mingw application,
i.e. win32 native, and does not link against the cygwin dll or libraries at
all.

  Of course, without cygwin, you can't use any of the POSIX APIs it
implements.  You can still use the limited subset implemented in mingw
though.

    cheers,
