Basic gcc compilation on cygwin64

I'm trying to compile the following basic program on cygwin64:

int main() {
   ;
   return 0;
}

But I get the following errors:

$ gcc test.c
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -ladvapi32
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lshell32
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -luser32
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.8.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lkernel32
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This is my first time using the 64-bit version of cygwin and I get the 
feeling I am missing some sort of flag or library.
