Aww... now i'm struck with it.
Tried to compile http://www.acme.com/software/mini_httpd/
Installed gcc-mingw, it pulled up some additional packets including gcc
itself.
Then I ran make just for test. Cygwin build went fine, apart from htpasswd
(there's getline redefined in source), but I don't really need it.
Then tried to switch to mingw32 and...

$ gcc -b i686-pc-mingw32 -O   -c mini_httpd.c
gcc: couldn't run `i686-pc-mingw32-gcc-3.4.4': No such file or directory

Tried the suggested gcc-3 -mno-cygwin, and got a whole bunch of unresolved
function names.
So... am I doing something wrong or it's not yet ready to do so?
