Well for starters any libraries you link in (-l...) should go right at the
end of the g++ command line. And on Cygwin the '-soname' linker flag doesn't
do anything. Also you don't need to link to -lc on Cygwin, as it's Cygwin
(eg. libc == cygwin1.dll).

If you remove the '-soname' linker flag, change `-o soname.so' to `-o
soname.dll' and move '-lm' to the end, you should be alright.
