Hello Nemeth,
Perhaps the FAQ isn't exactly the question you have but it's close.
Once you look at the response, you'll see that it addresses your question,
which is why I directed you there. So I guess it's fair to say that my
response is suggesting that a more broad perusal of the FAQ can often
unearth very pertinent and helpful responses to a specific question. In
this case, these two FAQ questions are quite related to your inquiry.
However, I understand the reason for your original oversight of this
related FAQ entry. I expect that it answers your question though, right?
Larry

I think there are two reasons a program `does not require cygwin1.dll at
runtime':
1. It doesn't use the Cygwin API
(this case is described in http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC94
`How do I compile a Win32 executable that doesn't use Cygwin?')
2. It is statically linked with Cygwin API which is not possible
(this is section http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC95)
For me it is not clear that the `Can I build a Cygwin program that does
not require cygwin1.dll at runtime?' refers to wihch case.
