what I think I hear you saying is that when -mno-cygwin is fully deprecated I'll need to build a cross compiler for native Windows executables

Or, you could install MinGW. Cygwin and MinGW will coexist, side by side, without conflict, if you arrange it so only one is in the PATH at a time. It's not impossible to have them both in the PATH, but I've come across enough strange behavior that I don't do that anymore.

I know I can install MinGW, but keeping track of their releases and having to download custom versions of this and that to get all the parts to play nicely together is such a huge PITA.

The nice folks at Cygwin have spent a lot of time and mental energy
getting setup to work well (just read cygwin-apps if you don't believe
me), and now that -P is supported it's dead easy to set up from the
command line.

But thanks for the reminder :-)

Cheers, Ralph
