I'm not I understand what you're referring to. Contrary to some
opinion out there, -mno-cygwin *in general* does not work for C++
code unless you have the appropriate target libraries from Mingw
distribution. The reason is twofold -- (1) libgcc.a built for Cygwin
may or may reference __impure_ptr from Cygwin DLL even if you don't
*think* you're using exceptions (long story, the keyword here is
inhibit_libc), and (2) the C++ runtime library for Cygwin and Mingw
are *not* compatible.

Please elaborate on the issues so that I can remedy these.
