You might want to investigate the -mno-cygwin GCC option. This builds "MinGW" binaries (Minimum GNU for Windows) which do not depend upon anything not present in a standard Windows installation. This is how our Windows tools are built. Obviously there are issues with doing it this way - no automatic support for Cygwin pathnames being the biggest - but most of these can be overcome with little effort, and all overcome with more effort.
