However, it seems like you're interested in understanding some of the internals of Cygwin's gcc and the -mno-cygwin switch. First of all, a quick response: when you specify -mno-cygwin to the compiler, __CYGWIN__ is NOT defined. Rather, __MINGW32__ is defined. In the past, I made contributions to OpenLDAP so that it would build as MinGW binaries with Cygwin gcc. As part of this contribution, I wrote a detailed document on Cygwin, MinGW, and the internals of how they relate to each other. You can read this document on OpenLDAP's web site: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/301.html I don't vouch for its accurracy. I last updated it in December, but you know how quickly software changes. Also, the content is based purely on my experience as a user and not a developer of Cygwin. So there may be things I'm wrong about. Nevertheless, it's fairly comprehensive. I hope this helps...
