It's possible some of the problems you are seeing were related to the
recent string of patches to binutils posted by DJ, me, and others.
Although there is not yet a cygwin package that contains these fixes,
you could try one of the following:

replace /usr/bin/ld.exe with the one here:
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/linker/ld.exe.tar.gz (don't forget to
save a backup)

download the current binutils source from CVS
(http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/) and build the whole mess it
yourself -- this includes dlltool, ld.exe, et al. 

   ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-cygwin
--target=i686-pc-cygwin
   make
   make -n install
; note which files will be replaced and make backup copies
   make install
