Hello,

gcc -static doesn't seem to be working any more using gcc 4.3.4:

$ cat test.c
int main(void) {}
$ gcc test.c -o test -static
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s

There indeed is libgcc_s.dll.a in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/, but for
some reason gcc doesn't seem to be happy with it. This is using gcc4 and
gcc4-core 4.3.4-3.  gcc-3 works fine.

Samuel
