how to link without libutil.so? [repost]

I'm trying to build Unison version 2.9.99.  Compilation succeeds, butÂ
the link step fails with
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lutil
after running a gcc command that includes '-lutil'.  I've searched theÂ
Cygwin packages, and it does seem that there's no file libutil.a or
libutil.so in any of them.  On other platforms, this is a standardÂ
library.
So is there some other library that I should use in place of libutil.*
on Cygwin?  I tried 'ln -s libcygwin.a /usr/lib/libutil.a' (what theÂ
hell, it was worth a shot) but it failed.
Other people have asked about this same problem in other forums, but I
haven't seen any of them get an answer.
Thanks,
Andrew.
