Actually, now I understand.  This *would* be a problem.  Ian's
suggestion was correct.  If you use this option in the cygwin directory
it will probably screw things up since the cygwin directory needs to use
the -mno-win32 option. So, you'll end up doing a:

gcc -mwwin32 -mno-win32 ...

who knows what that will do?

Sorry for confusing things by suggesting that it was incorrect to do
what Ian suggested.
