I kinda like the using --target-help for finding out if -mno-cygwin is supported assuming --target-help is supported by all GCC's. I disliked the version-based approach since back from 2011 since it seems fragile to me. I'm noo sure if it falls into the category of lightweight checks Eric asked for in #msg146499 but at least more lightweight than my proposal of trying to compile a sample program with the compiler.
