under cygwin, zsh cannot run when built against ncurses9-5.7-13

[A.R. Burgers]

Any special reason for specifying -lm and -lc when building d3.dll?
Without them, pow is mentioned only once in the objdump output. However 
on 1.5 pow is mentioned only once, even if -lm and -lc
are specified.

The exact same problem as with zsh, I also run into with fltk's 
fluid.exe (from current 1.3 svn) on cygwin 1.7 and gcc 3.4.4.
fltk btw does not link to curses libraries.
