I have ported a program to Cygnus, now I am moving to Colin Peters' Minimalist 
GNU-Win32 stuff because I don't want to have to deliver more than the .EXE to 
my client. My problem is that I was using gettimeofday which I have now tracked 
down to libwinserve.a in .../mingw32/win32/lib, but when I build with 
gcc ... -Wl,-Bstatic,-lwinserve,-Bdynamic ... the linker is satisfied, but the 
routine isn't pulled into the executable and I get a DLL not found error for 
WINSERVE.DLL (which doesn't exist, as far as I can make out the routine I want 
is actually in the archive). 

I have obviously got the wrong end of the stick vis-a-vis what -Bstatic 
actually does, can anyone put me right?
