Hm, I don't understand what you mean, maybe it's a problem of
vocabulary.

First, a question: a cygwin-gcc (cross-compiler) will:

        cygwin-gcc -c foo.c             => foo.o or foo.obj
        cygwin-gcc -c foo.c -o foo.o    => foo.o I guess

        cygwin-gcc foo.c -o foo         => foo or foo.exe
