I think the docs does say that. Here's the relevant excerpt from
nt/INSTALL:
* Supported development environments
To compile Emacs, you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0 or
later and nmake, or a Windows port of GCC 2.95 or later with MinGW
and W32 API support and a port of GNU Make. You can use the Cygwin
ports of GCC, but Emacs requires the MinGW headers and libraries to
build (latest versions of the Cygwin toolkit, at least since v1.3.3,
include the MinGW headers and libraries as an integral part).
If you think this leaves the issue not entirely clear, please point
out where's the source of ambiguity, and I will try to improve the
wording.
