It's only the most recent release of cygport (0.10.0) that has
rudimentary support for usage on other build environments:

0.10.0:
        * Added support for building and using cross-compilers.
        * Experimental support for running cygport on non-Cygwin hosts.

IIUC, cygport at best can now be used in the following build vs host
situations:

cygwin -> cygwin
other  -> cygwin
cygwin -> other

I've only tried (1) and (3), not (2).
