I completely agree, most of the time it is a very bad idea to mix MinGW objects
with Cygwin's ones, that is why I extracted the llrint.o instead of linking 
to libmingwex.a

And indeed llrint.o works only because it is self-contained.
I checked that at the code:

$ cat /usr/src/cygwin-1.5.24-2/winsup/mingw/mingwex/math/llrint.c
#include <math.h>

long long llrint (double x) 
{
  long long retval;
  __asm__ __volatile__                                                        \
    ("fistpll %0"  : "=m" (retval) : "t" (x) : "st");                          
      \
  return retval;
}

Regards,
Victor
