> Guys, this looks really bad and inconveniences a lot of users. You install the latest MinGW and Distutils from their default location, try using them on **anything that requires compilation**, and get the cryptic gcc -mno-cygwin error (after having to edit the obscure distutils.cfg, of course).

Yes . This is reason to pack many changes in one archive
"issue12641-modernize_cygwin&mingw_compilers.tar.gz
<http://bugs.python.org/file29030/issue12641-modernize_cygwin%26mingw_compilers.tar.gz>",
i.e. to remove all checks for tools used in previous millеnium.
My oldest compilers are :
a)
i386-mingw32msvc-gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
b)
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Check for -m{no-}cygwin flags is optional. I can not found reason this
patch to be applied, as with implementation of compiler customization
this is for developer guide.
