AFAIK you need to use a Cygwin compiled Python library
you also need to add a -DUSE_DL_IMPORT to your gcc command line
and link against $LIB_DIR/Python$VER/config/python$VER.dll

Where $LIB_DIR is either /lib/python$VER or /usr/local/lib/python$VER
depending whether you use the distributed python or have compiled it 
yourself

If this doesn't work ask again
