Could I have some more debugging of this, please?  I can't duplicate it
with a simple test case and I surely don't want to download tetex to try
to duplicate it.

Something like adding a:

-Wl,-M

to the link line will produce a map file.  It may pinpoint where the problem
is.

If anyone can narrow this down to a http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#STC it would
be appreciated.
