I tried your suggestion:

$ ./configure CFLAGS='gcc -mno-cygwin'
checking build system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
checking target system type... i686-pc-cygwin  <-- this is not correct!
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C 
compiler
 cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.


I tried this next:

$ ./configure CFLAGS='-mno-cygwin' --target=i386-mingw32
....
$ make
gcc -mno-cygwin    -I. -I.  -c array.c
gcc -mno-cygwin    -I. -I.  -c bignum.c
bignum.c:18:20: ieeefp.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [bignum.o] Error 1


So it was even worse with -mno-cygwin...
