Again, I'm cross compiling all the time since I build Cygwin on Linux

explicitely by a configure flag, not the other way around.

Alright, I'll rework this patch to that effect.

I really don't see the point of this. I maintain the pseudo-official cross toolchains for Cygwin, and I just remove what is not needed for cross-compiling from the DESTDIR after install. This is also a fairly common step when building library packages for cross-compiler toolchains.
