Unless you fell up to generating the mingw packages you need.  I'm unsure
(and didn't bother to go see if I could find this in the gcc release notes)
that -mno-cygwin has made it into the mainline.  That means the first step
to getting this to work is to port the Cygwin-specific support for it to
your Cygwin 4.1.1 version.  You may also want to review the email archives
for this list, the Mingw list, and the gcc list to get a better handle on
the issues with the 4.x series on Windows platforms, in case any of them
are of concern to you.
