Not unless Windows natively supports the termios interface (which it 
doesn't).

When you use -mno-cygwin, what you're getting is pretty much the naked 
Windows API. The headers and .libs are provided by MinGW, of course 
(since MSFT doesn't ship header files with the system), but MinGW 
doesn't add any additional APIs over and above what Windows provides in 
its own DLLs (that's what Cygwin is there for!).

So no, you can't expect POSIX calls to work with -mno-cygwin. Stick to 
ANSI C and Win32 API calls.  If you don't know the difference between 
ANSI C and "Unix" (i.e. if you think that every API call on Linux/Unix 
is "part of C"), go read about it first.
