Hmmm...I think that crt0.o is for cygwin builds, crt1.o is for builds
which use "cygwin-gcc -mno-cygwin" with a crt.dll runtime target, and
crt2.o is for builds which use "cygwin-gcc -mno-cygwin" with an
msvcrt.dll runtime target.

If I'm right, cygwin's gcc recently changed so that the msvcrt runtime
was the default target for -mno-cygwin builds; but that would just mean
that crt1.o was replaced by crt2.o.  Since cygwin builds (-mwindows
notwithstanding) use crt0.o, this change would have no effect on cygwin
builds.  Hmm...

I've copied this message to the cygwin list, in case the gurus there
have any comment, or can confirm/deny my statement abouve about crtX.o.
