A number of open-source projects (a.o. libav) indicate the use of -mnocygwin to build, on cygwin, libraries or executables that do not need the cygwin dll Section 6.10 of the FAQ also says so, but also states "This section has not yet been updated for the latest net release.". And indeed, gcc 4.5.3 just kicks you out with "The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted cross-compiler.".
Using gcc-3, or setting it using /etc/alternatives, works but of course it is better to use the more recent compiler. Could someone publish the appropriate recipe?
