Just what it says: the linker cannot find library libgcc_s.a (or libgcc_s.s=
o if
using shared libraries).

In general your compiler can tell you where are the libraries it is using:
$ gcc -print-libgcc-file-name
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/libgcc.a

$ gcc -print-file-name=3Dlibgcc.a
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/libgcc.a

$ gcc -print-file-name=3Dlibgcc_s.a
libgcc_s.a

The 3rd test did not find libgcc_s.a and the compiler doesn't show a path b=
ut in
a way is saying "I'll use it if I find it right here in this directory".

If you are cross-compiling those will not work, you need the target librari=
es
(notice the difference between my libgcc and the one your linker was looking
for: .../i686-pc-cygwin/... vs .../i686-unknown-linux/...).

In other words, your setup is not complete for doing the cross-compilation =
you
are trying to do.
