Subject: 1.3.1 : again a regex problem (even with -lregex)

I've read many messages from the mailing list
concerning the regex "bug", but the given solution
(linking with libregex.a) doesn't work for me. It
seems gcc just ignores the library. I only noticed
that if I compile the regex source files and link all
the regXXX.o with my own code, then it works.
I m using Cygwin 1.3.1 including regex-4.4.

My test code :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <regex.h>

void main()
{
  regex_t preg;
  int errcode;

  if( (errcode = regcomp(&preg, "hello", 0)) )
    printf("Error = %d\n", errcode);
  else
  {
    printf("Success\n");
    regfree(&preg);
  }
}

If I compile with :
gcc -o mytest -lregex mytest.c

I get this output :
Error = 167837880

If I compile with :
gcc -c mytest.c
gcc -o mytest mytest.o regcomp.o regfree.o

I get this output :
Success

Any idea ? Maybe I missed something really stupid, but
...
