No: Cygwin != _WIN32. You may be looking for a run-time setting, but no such thing exists. A native/Cygwin dual-mode binary sounds like a clever idea, but AFAIK has never been done before, and is probably ridiculously infeasible on the balance of work/benefit. You should improve your configure.in/ac to not pull in windows.h unless you really want it.
