I don't know what this particular problem is (it sounds pretty bad if
-mno-cygwin is this broken) but:

======================
File: w32-shared-ptr.c  Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.1.6.1
   Repository revision: 1.1.6.1 /cvs/gcc/gcc/gcc/config/i386/Attic/w32-shared-ptr.c,v
   Sticky Tag:          cygming332 (branch: 1.1.6.1.2)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

This file *is* in cvs.  It was added by Danny Smith in August, AFAICT.

Out of curiousity, have you upgraded all of the various gcc-mingw
packages now?
