Does -mno-cygwin sometimes have no effect?

It seems to me that when I use the -mno-cygwin option to gcc,
this has the intended effect (no dependency on cygwin1.dll)
most of the time, but in situations where certain additional
cygwin libs are needed (in my case, cygintl.dll), -mno-cygwin
doesn't do anything; the output exe always requires cygwin
libs.

Is this correct?  This would make sense if there is no Windows
equivalent to something like cygintl.dll.  However, if this is
in fact the case, I would love a warning from gcc indicating
that honoring -mno-cygwin will not be possible.

Many thanks
d.
