Renato Silva added the comment:
In context it should be clear that the statement in gcc 4.x it
produces an error preventing build refers to Cygwin's gcc and not
MinGW's. Which gcc are you referring to?
If it refers to Cygwin only, sorry then. However, didn't folks said in
MinGW thread
Renato Silva added the comment:
MinGW has never supported the -mno-cygwin option. It has simply
tolerated it. The option never did anything useful and at some point
it became an error to even supply it. I'm not sure exactly when but
some time after 4.4 sounds reasonable to me.

I must note that GCC 4.x *does* support -mno-cygwin, at least until 4.4, and at
least the MinGW version. I have used it myself for building Pidgin under
Windows, which requires that option. See [1] where a Pidgin developer confirms
that.
