You're not really compiling for cygwin.  When you use -mno-cygwin, 
you're compiling for native windows.  I don't support jpeg/tiff for 
anything other than pure cygwin.  You'll have better luck looking here:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

Those guys do native-windows (e.g. -mno-cygwin) ports (although they 
actually use the mingw compiler, not the cygwin compiler in -mno-cygwin 
mode).
