I rechecked the link line, and it has the -mwindows switch:

gcc  -o wish81.exe   -mwindows winMain.o wish.res.o \
         ../../tcl8.1/win/./libtcl81.a libtk81.a \
          -luser32 -lcomdlg32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool
/usr/local/cygnus/cygwin-b20/usr/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/2.95/../../../../i586-cygwin32/bin

/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _WinMainCRTStartup; defaulting to 00401000
