You should check with the crossgcc FAQ first to find out what you need to copy over to the Cygwin machine (basically the entire runtime -- includes and libraries) and what issues are involved. This is really not a Cygwin issue, but rather a "cross build" issue. See http://www.objsw.com for crossgcc FAQ and various other things. If your MIPS target is supported, it's not that hard to do (after you've done it a few hundred times, it's easy ;-).
