libcygwin.a is linked automatically when you build a cygwin application.
You don't have to worry about it.  After that, cygwin1.dll needs to be
available for the program to run.

I should go without saying (but I'll say it anyway because otherwise
someone else will quickly jump in to say it) that any additional
functionality that you need in your program would require another
library for linking and possibly another DLL for running.  So if, for
instance, you need curses functionality in your program, you have to
link with a curses library.

"modify the binary header"?  Of what?  A windows program?  No.  A
program has to be compiled and linked with cygwin's gcc.
