Or you could try "gcc -mno-cygwin" where gcc is the standard Cygwin gcc.
That's a Cygwin program so it understands the POSIX paths, but it
produced MinGW programs (which don't).


Are programs compiled in this fashion identical to programs that are
compiled with the actual i686-pc-mingw-gcc program?

Since nobody more qualified has responded ...

I don't know if they are perfectly identical, but they certainly have the same general properties. That is, in order to build a UNIX program you have to apply the exact same patches as you would for the MinGW compiler.

Note that you must have installed the right Cygwin package for it to work - it uses a different set of libraries in -mno-cygwin mode.
