Compiling to native code, for the actual target platform, eliminates
many problems in the later use of tools or libraries.
Like Wine for Linux, CygWin and MinGW are not *extensions* to the host
OS, they only open a *narrow* window into a different world. The use of
the output is restricted to the same emulator box.
With regards to autobloat, it's up to the author of the source code,
which target platform he wants to support. When he is a member of the
hate-Windows fraction, or simply doesn't care about non-POSIX platforms,
the configuration of his project will fail in CygWin, leaving the user
with uncompilable code. Autobloat is not only a tool set for making
projects platform independent, at the same time it allows to effectively
exclude platforms as well :-(
