It's only the most recent release of cygport (0.10.0) that has
rudimentary support for usage on other build environments:
0.10.0:
* Added support for building and using cross-compilers.
* Experimental support for running cygport on non-Cygwin hosts.
IIUC, cygport at best can now be used in the following build vs host
situations:
cygwin -> cygwin
other -> cygwin
cygwin -> other
I've only tried (1) and (3), not (2).
