Use Rob's configure options documented on:
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin-apps/setup.html.
That will produce a mingw executable.
Quoting from that page:
-----------------------------------------------------------
To build setup in the same way that the net distribution's
binaries are built, configure setup on a cygwin machine with
the following command: ".../setup/configure -C
--enable-dependencies --disable-shared
--host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin
'CC=gcc -mno-cygwin' 'CXX=g++ -mno-cygwin'
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/g++-3 --enable-maintainer-mode".
To successfully build such a setup you will need a mingw
libstdc++.a file for the cross-compiler to link against
One can be found in the mingw gcc binary, simply place
the library in /usr/lib/mingw/.
