Using Cygwin MINGW compilers from Eclipse

["David A. Cobb" <superbiskit at cox dot net>]

  The Eclipse IDE offers to use Cygwin or MinGW toolchains to build 
applications.

Within the Cygwin applications, however, there is a possibility of using 
the "MinGW-gcc" collection as a sort of cross-compile to produce . . . 
what?  Presumably, an executable that will run on a Windoze machine with 
only native support libraries.

So, the first question is -- is the output executable from Cygwin-Mingw 
compilation the same as one produced by using the MinGW-project 
compilers with (if needed) MSYS.

Second, what has to be done to make such an executable?  That is, will 
an appropriate set of CCFLAG settings select the Cygwin-MinGW compiler? 
 Or, is some other "trick" needed so that "gcc" means using the MinGW 
compiler?
