We do have some patches in OpenWrt to make mtd-utils build and work
under FreeBSD and Cygwin here:

https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/tools/mtd-utils/patches

in particular:
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/tools/mtd-utils/patches/110-portability.patch
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/tools/mtd-utils/patches/120-cygwin_fixes.patch
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/tools/mtd-utils/patches/134-freebsd_loff_t.patch

Not sure how acceptable they look like to you?
