Add the above -no-undefined flag to Makefile.am (if automake is used).

This is the point where the fun begins;)

They use libtool, but Cygwin support works well only with libtool 1.5
or later.  So you need to reconfig this package.

Try 'autoreconf --install --force --verbose` at first.
However, often tweaks are needed to get it up and running.
