The only way to force Cygwin to not depend on cygwin1.dll is to
set the -mno-cygwin switch in your compile line
(eg gcc -c -ofoo.exe foo.c -mno-cygwin).
By forcing the elimination of cygwin1.dll using -mno-cygwin,
you can then do this:
gcc -ofoo.exe foo.c -mno-cygwin -lcygwin
The default paths already scan the usr/lib directory. It is
the usr/lib directory that has the static version of cygwin
(libcygwin.a).
Peace,
