Why not.  I'll let Gavin give his advice too.

This is not correct.  Eli reported that his build on pure mingw
succeeded and passed all the tests.  The conditional needs to be something else,
maybe something along
AM_CONDITIONAL([OS_IS_NATIVE_WINDOWS_BUILT_ON_CYGWIN],
  [case "$host_os" in mingw* | windows*) case "$build_os" in cygwin*) true ;;
                                                                   *) false ;; 
esac
                                   ;;
                                      *) false ;;
   esac])
