Thanks.
./configure -C --disable-shared --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin CC="gcc-3 -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++-3 -mno-cygwin"
and the following 'make' seem to work fine. I sort of assumed it was

README to clarify this, or are you expecting the -mno-cygwin option to
be in a later release of gcc?
