library supports on Cygwin - Xerces-C

[Nishant Sharma]

Hi Everybody,

Some light on the following question is highly appreciated.
Those ready to lend a helping hand, please raise your hands... :-)

Does Cygwin have shared library support?
If yes, where can I get the information on using a shared library in Cygwin?

To be more precise, can I use shared library ".so" binary file available for
Linux directly on Cygwin?
(or Linux ".a" to be used in Cygwin directly)
If not, can I convert ".so" to ".a" (shared library to static library)?

My aim is to use Xerces-C on Cygwin whose build is not working on Cygwin.
And I am afraid that even if it works out, it would be generating a shared
library.

I am using:
Cygwin 1.3.2
Xerces-C 1.5.0

Hope I could explain my problem. Did anybody had a similar problem in past? 
Thanks in advance for any tips / solutions.

Regards,
Nishant Sharma
