That would prevent compiling with a cygwin target. --host and --build and --target are _user_ switches. configure should never alter those. As for detecting -mno-cygwin, you can use a variation of the AC_API_WIN32 Macros' I posted to the autoconf list some time back - but only do that when you've checked the host platform is actually mingw32. > I am not sure if this is a bit off topic, maybe this sould be posted to the > autoconf list. It's in the grey area, still related to cygwin, but heading to autoconf only pretty quickly.
