There is a new snapshot up there:

http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

You'll need to grab libcygwin.a from cygwin-inst-20041209.tar.bz2 .

You don't need to also install cygwin1.dll unless you want to.  There are some
potentially destabilizing changes in this DLL so anyone who downloads this
make sure that you have a backup strategy.
