It's an issue when cross-compiling cygwin -> mingw, using -mno-cygwin, since libtool runs gcc -print-search-dirs, doesn't see /usr/lib/w32api there, so when you try to link with a w32api library, libtool petulantly refuses to link properly, because *it* thinks the w32api library won't be found. Whereas, if it just trusted gcc/ld to do their jobs, there would be no problem. It's only not an issue when compiling cygwin -> cygwin because sys_lib_search_path_spec is hardcoded in libtool for this case.
