the flags in package.py are usually for --download-package. I don't know if we add such flags to petsc build here.

configure is a bit convoluted - so I can't say exactly where this would go.

Also we have to add them in such a way the user specified FFLAGS override default FFLAGS configure detects. So likely some hack [from MPI side] in config/BuildSystem/config/compilerOptions.py

I don't know if one can use native libraries from cygwin/gcc gfortran. So we don't support this.

Primary windows builds  builds are for native compilers - i.e MS, Intel [using cygwin build tools] - and they can use MS-MPI and IntelMPI
