There's a -mno-cygwin flag to GCC, that will get behavior similar to
MinGW (Minimalist GNU For Windows), but I think it would be wise to
install both (in different places, of course), switching between then
by setting the PATH.  There may be subtle changes in the MinGW headers,
runtime, compiler or assembler that are important for your application. 
The version of GCC distributed with Swarm, for example, has several bug
fixes and changes relative to the stock version distributed at gcc.gnu.org.
