cygwin (as in the base cygwin package) is missing /lib/libdl.a. The install for the cygwin package should create a symlink with this name that links to libcygwin.a in the same directory. Otherwise, builds for a lot of different software packages are broken. Example is bash-3.1. It will die at this point: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -I. -I.. -I../include -I../lib -g -DCROSS_COMPILING -o mkbuiltins mkbuiltins.o -ldl /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -ldl collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Create the above symlink and everybody is happy, nobody has to die... Note: It was a pain in the ass to figure out how to report and bug. Would be nice if there was a bug database or something. Will be worse if I have to subscribe to this list to post to it.
