But this is a considerable nuisance in comparison to early binding (i.e. linking against the DLL's import library).  It also works correctly under MSYS2 , and native-target mingw-w64.  Only Cygwin64 early-binding exhibits the problem.

I would like to use Cygwin as opposed to MSYS2 because the application uses SYSV IPC which is supported by Cygwin. So I need to either resolve this problem, create my own "import library" with late binding thunks for every function, or rewrite the SYSV IPC stuff to WinAPI stuff and use MSYS2 instead. Hoping the first of those three options turns out to be possible!

the __cxa_atexit is available from the cygwin1.dll itself.
Have you tried to add "-lcygwin" at the end of your command line:

g++ -o mre.exe mre.cc /f/temp/simpledll/x64/Debug/simpledll.lib -lcygwin

As it should be the default linking, I doubt it is that the root cause.

May be the difference is in the 64 bit models
