cyggd.dll    <<< the typical name for the ***DLL***
libgd.dll.a  <<< the typical name for the ***import library***

You probably need to include -L/usr/local/lib in your link line.  IIRC, 
ld doesn't search /usr/local/lib by default, only /lib, /usr/lib, and 
the gcc-specific locations (/lib/gcc-lib/something/ ???).
