-mno-cygwin isn't some magical AI which somehow removes cygwin dependencies from existing libraries. It's simply an embedded

I've sent an email about this to cygwin-apps at cygwin dot com about this.
(Actually, they aren't missing, merely in a non-obvious location: /usr/share/doc/libdb4.2-devel-4.2.52/utility)
