This is a red herring. It is not going to work:
"It won't recognize it as a serial device."

-mno-cygwin and native win32 apis really have little bearing on Cygwin.
I'm regenerating a snapshot which translates /dev/ttyS0 -> //Global??/COM1 and
/dev/com1 -> /??/com1, using the same "symlink" as is used by the windows api.
I would appreciate it if you could try the snapshot when it becomes available
and report if both /dev/ttyS5 and /dev/com6 work as you expect.
