-mno-cygwin isn't some magical AI which somehow removes cygwin dependencies from existing libraries. It's simply an embedded
cross-compilation mode. Without a *seperate* mingw-targeted build of BDB, forget trying to build MinGW BDB applications.

I've sent an email about this to cygwin-apps at cygwin dot com about this.
(Actually, they aren't missing, merely in a non-obvious location: /usr/share/doc/libdb4.2-devel-4.2.52/utility)
