Back again after the weekend :-) Let me just explain what I want a little
better. I am looking for some documentation that will enable me to find the
right flags when linking my application to a sybase library. Yes, I have
submitted this to the Sybase support desk, but it is slow and buroucratic.
Since this list deals with Cygwin, and I am using Cygwin, I thought that a
pointer to some documentation could be produced by the people. And I still
belive that.

I am looking for a document that can explain what the size -A output is! I
have read the manpage and could not understand it. I whould like to
understand it better so I can tune my linker.

The non working dll has no .bss, idata and edata section. A 'size -A' on
/bin/libcygwin.dll lists the same as the 10.0 sybase library that works. It
has .bss, idata and edata sections. So I am stretching my luck and ask
again; can somebody point to a document that will explain why  one dll (any
dll) has more sections than others, and what these sections are?

You should probably be asking this on a Sybase list.  I don't see what this
has to do with Cygwin.
