If you're talking about configure gcc with those flags, then wouldn't
that usually mean that you're cross-compiling a regular, native MinGW
compiler? If you want a cygwin-hosted MinGW cross-compiler, you should
be using "--build=cygwin --host=cygwin --target=mingw32". I would be
hesitant to change the usual meaning of build/host just for
Cygwin/MinGW; I don't think we need to add to the confusion that most
people have about Cygwin.
