If you're talking about configure gcc with those flags, then wouldn't that usually mean that you're cross-compiling a regular, native MinGW compiler? If you want a cygwin-hosted MinGW cross-compiler, you should be using "--build=cygwin --host=cygwin --target=mingw32". I would be hesitant to change the usual meaning of build/host just for Cygwin/MinGW; I don't think we need to add to the confusion that most people have about Cygwin.
