Cygwin 1.5.1 libc.a link problem

While attempting to rebuild procmail against Cygwin 1.5.1, I believe I
have found a problem with libc.a that interferes with building 64-bit
apps.

If one builds the attached test program without -lc, we get the
following:

    $ gcc -o stat stat.c
    $ objdump -p stat.exe | fgrep stat
            6100      510  _stat64

But, if one builds it with -lc, we get the following:

    $ gcc -o stat stat.c -lc
    $ objdump -p stat.exe | fgrep stat
            6130      945  stat

Thanks,
Jason
