Problem compiling non cygwin programs using Cygwin V1.0

[Larry Wagner <wagner at weru dot ksu dot edu>]

I have the following problem related to compilation of programs with
the -mno-cygwin option using the Cygwin V1.0 (I don't remember seeing
this problem with the B20.1 version):

When I compile a program for the cygwin environment, everything works
as expected.

When I compile a program using the -mno-cygwin option, I get link errors.

After tracing down the situation, reading Mumit Khan's mno-cygwin-howto
memo, and installing the gcc version 95.2 compiler and associated mingw
libraries for it, I tried again with the same result.

Reviewing Mumit Khan's memo and attempting to duplicate the examples
shown in the memo revealed that the "no-cygwin" option is NOT looking
for the mingw32 include files as demonstrated in the memo.  Those include
files are in the expected locations.  It made no difference whether I
used the gcc compiler that was provided with the Cygwin package or the
newer 95.2 version.

So, is the "no-cygwin" compiler option supposed to change the default
include file lookup directories as implied in Mumit Khan's memo?
If so, why doesn't it work for me?  If not, am I relegated to explicitly
setting the necessary include directory search paths when compiling
with the "no-cygwin" option enabled?

Here are the particulars that shows the problem of not finding the correct
include files when the "no-cygwin" option is specified (even though it doesn't
affect the "Hello World!" program in this case):
