The only interest of Make_cyg.mak is to compile Vim binaries which don't
need Cygwin to run, using the -mno-cygwin option of the Cygwin gcc
compiler and the appropriate corresponding option of the linker.
If Cygwin drops the option, then you should not use Make_cyg.mak but
switch (for instance) to MinGW and Make_ming.mak.
To compile a cygwin build which does require the cygwin1.dll to run, use
the top-level Makefile and have it run configure (if it works, I haven't
tested it).
Best regards,
Tony.
