Point taken. But unfortunately the FLTK community decided it the

Thus this is not likely to be changed. Sorry.
Since when are matters such as this decided by opinion polls? I bet
most of the voters didn't use Cygwin or even know what it is. Did you
have a poll to decide how FLTK should be built on Linux? Didn't think
so. I am NOT impressed.
Like any other platform, the only people that should have a say in any
package's behaviour on Cygwin are the Cygwin managers and maintainers.
We have made Cygwin a *NIX/X11 platform, and we have decided that gcc
will not support -mno-cygwin (which was broken anyway). *That* is the
ONLY opinion that should matter in this discussion.
Unfortunately this attitude is by no means limited to FLTK, and any
frustration with this topic is based more on the frequency of this sort
of thinking than with FLTK in particular.
