Wrong presumption. :-) Using MSYS+MinGW here.

Mea culpa :-) Thanks for all the answers. As an after-thought, it seems the patch could be
greatly simplified by just forcing the compiler to "gcc -mno-cygwin" if a Cygwin environment
is detected.

I still think that the check_compile() / check_link() helpers are a good ideas, but they are not
directly related to this issue, so they'd better be in a different patch.

I'll send these soon.

Thanks
