Thanks!  This solved my problem!

Nevertheless, it reveals a problem/bug in libtool.
It should not have been necessary that I lost a
few days with this: the warning message that libtool
gives about undefined symbols wasn't clear enough
for me.  On top of that, the fact that libtool
continued to assemble a static archive WITHOUT all
objects (because some *.lo files were already compiled
as pic_object) is clearly an error.  The resulting
.a archive is not usable.

It would be better to turn this warning into a fatal error
on cygwin and to add a remark about the correct usage
of -no-undefined on windows.
