This error occurred by mingw.
gcc 4.6.x don't accept -mno-cygwin.

To fix this error, remove -mno-cygwin option at Mingw32CCompiler class's 
__init__ method in C:\python27\Lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py file.

Is there a way to override this value rather than altering python proper source 
code?

Going to close this since it doesn't seem as though its something we have 
control over.
