Why? That would prevent compiling with a cygwin target.
--host and --build and --target are _user_ switches. configure should
never alter those.

As for detecting -mno-cygwin, you can use a variation of the
AC_API_WIN32 Macros' I posted to the autoconf list some time back - but
only do that when you've checked the host platform is actually mingw32.

It's in the grey area, still related to cygwin, but heading to autoconf
only pretty quickly.
