That doesn't match: MinGW is not Cygwin.  If you don't cross-compile,
there is no need to specify --host.  If you cross-compile, and in this
case producing MinGW executables is more-or-less like cross compilation,
then you need to use a compiler (option) to produce non-Cygwin output
(-mno-cygwin IIRC).
