The -no-/-cygwin options were removed in 2010 except for:

     $ info gcc Invoking Option
     /Windows

invoke.texi/Option Summary/x86 Windows Options at:

https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/doc/invoke.texi#l1454

1453 @emph{x86 Windows Options}
1454 @gccoptlist{-mconsole  -mcygwin  -mno-cygwin  -mdll @gol
1455 -mnop-fun-dllimport  -mthread @gol
1456 -municode  -mwin32  -mwindows  -fno-set-stack-executable}

from which the man gcc Windows options are generated with texi2pod and pod2man.

The mingw toolchains are used to build native Windows objects and files.
