GCC-XML on Windows is capable of simulating Visual Studio 6 and Visual
Studio 7's preprocessors, so it can't directly use the mingw headers for
that purpose.  However, it should have no trouble simulating the mingw
option on cygwin's gcc compiler (the following is untested, so let me
know):

./gccxml --gccxml-compiler "gcc" --gccxml-cxxflags "-mno-cygwin" \
         source.cpp -fxml=source.xml

alternatively:

export CXX=gcc
export CXXFLAGS="-mno-cygwin"
./gccxml source.cpp -fxml=source.xml
