I think that this is caused by the same problem that I reported about 
two weeks ago. The export file for the library is no longer created 
correctly, as there is a new subproject in base and the merged .def 
files contains duplicate entries now.
You did send me a patch for this, which didn't work. What we need here 
is a different way to create the .def file. Or have to wait until the 
new way of compilation for MinGW also works with cygwin. Perhaps 
updating the cygwin gcc to 3.4 would already do the trick.
