Why are you porting win32 programs to win32?  The Cygwin project is primarily geared towards porting software already running on un*x OS's to the win32 environment.  So the libraries are set up to include un*x API calls.

You can't link libraries or object files from the Micro$oft format with Cygwin gcc.
Addressing libraries that are Cygwin such as libXYZ.a is done with the switch -LXYZ on the gcc line.
