Yesterday I faced the same problem on NT 4.0, Cygwin 1.3.5, gcc 2.95.3-5 after not having used gcc since cygwin1.dll v1.3.3.
I updated my installation using the regular setup and got a new version of gcc (-5) as well as cygwin1.dll. (Apart from some other packages that I can't identify anymore.)
Afterwards linking with gcc (gcc -o test.exe test.c) wouldn't work. Simply compiling without linking (gcc parametre "-c") worked.
I checked the system for cygwin1.dll and found in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5 a 1.3.3 version (API-version: 0.46, Build: 2001-09-12 23:54).
The correct v1.3.5 was found in /bin respectively /usr/bin.
After removing the outdated cygwin1.dll linking again works like a charm.
Hope this helps...
