But it isn't the same platform, anymore than MIPS/Linux and MIPS/Irix
are the same platform. Cygwin requires a considerable amount of
additional software to be installed, of which a large part is a system
library that presents a very different API than the native OS.

Then I think you should have similar reservations about the Cygwin
port, because (as you believe) it is for the same non-free platform.
