-lgcc means it is looking for libgcc.a. That can be found in
gcc-lib/i386-cygwin32/cygnus-2.7.2-961023 (at least that's where it is
for beta 17.1). The real question though, is why are you requiring
libgcc.a at all? You might try nm libgcc.a to see if any of the
symbols exported (those marked T or ?) are in your code.
