Tried and the output was:

Inspired by your patch, I played around a little bit.

When I set
  system_name=MINGW32 (configure script)
and
  --cc="gcc -mno-cygwin"  (via command line)
manually, the output provides:

Detected operating system: MINGW32
Detected host architecture: i386
Checking for gcc -mno-cygwin version ... 4.0.1, ok
Checking for host cc ... gcc -mno-cygwin

but compiling still fails.

I had to add some include directories, then make reported an error in
mplayer.c 634.
Afterhaving "fixed" this, make gives w.o. with undefined references.

Looks like there is enough to do to get a mingw build on cygwin. :-)
