Thanks for the update Ross. In fact, I have a buld system that
will build an entire Lua distro for me either as a mingw or a cygwin
app, using one compiler or the other.

Lua maintainers take note: -mno-cygwin is being deprecated in the
Cygwin distribution and will be replaced by a full-fledged mingw
compatible cross-compiler.
