Are you sure about the lack of support for .so dynamic linking? The dl*()
call family (dlopen, dlclose, dlsym, dlerror) appears to be supported (they
are listed in the API documentation) and working (I've tried to port some
code of mine that makes use of them for a plug-in system and everything is
ok).
The only difference is that you don't need to link the dl library (it looks
like it doens't exists at all under cygwin, maybe those calls are
implemented elsewhere) and the -fPIC / -fpic options make cc1 emit a
warning.

HTH,
