The fact that it builds out of the box with -mno-cygwin would appear to
indicate that whoever distributes the SDL application has gotten it running
as a native WIN32 application build using MINGW32 (aka -mno-cygwin). To get
it to run as a cygwin application with the cygwin dll instead, someone will
have to port it to cygwin. What this involves can probably only be
determined by diving into the source code. Basically it requires someone
with enough interest plus enough knowledge of cygwin + SDL to dive in and
figure it out. I believe there is a SDL mailing list. You might try it to
see if anyone is already working on a cygwin port or has any suggestions
