Preventing Cygwin from picking up MinGW as host system

So this beautiful annoyance came up during an email-driven
troubleshooting session:
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-cygwin
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-mingw32
and over a dozen mingw-related hits before erroring out on libassuan:
Libassuan v has been configured as follows:
Revision: ()
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32
Making all in m4
Making all in src
mkheader.c
usage: mkheader host_os template.h version version_number
make[4]: *** [Makefile:1339: assuan.h] Error 1
make[3]: *** [Makefile:462: all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [Makefile:394: all] Error 2
make[1]: ***

make: *** [Makefile:299: build] Error 2
Would be tempting to just uninstall MinGW, but the newcomer needs it for
other stuff. How can we teach Cygwin to ignore MinGW?
