The main concern of this crash is the order mismatch between loading and 
unloading dynamic library. It seems that either crtbegin or crtend code 
of i386 libgcc has some pitfall. The mismatch always occurs when main() 
didn't statically link to libgcc.

If my memory serves me correctly, static version of deregister_frame_fn 
is set to wrong address (see cygming-crtbegin.c) by unknown fallacy of 
gnu-ld linker. That is, Object file seems okay, But generated dll breaks 
offset argument resulting in invalid offset operand of memory 
references, although Kai Tietz said in 
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57680 that It had been fixed.

Until the fallacy of gnu-ld is being resolved by someone that has plenty 
of time or someone have workaround against the fallacy of 
ever-not-warranted linker, I'll suggest you to just call 
dlopen("cyggcc_s-1") before dlopen'ing any DLL that has dynamic linkage 
to libgcc. It would be okay for workarounding the problem.
