Laurent,

Most of them are "interface to the system DLLs" (or import libs as a
previous post states). 
For a complete answer, one would "nm <libname> | grep __imp"  on each of
them to see which is such an interface.
On my 1.3.x cygwin here, for your libuser32.a case, I have

"$ nm /lib/w32api/libuser32.a | grep __imp | wc -l
    582
"

It seems not to be a general interest on this, as the posts related are
quite rare

Here, no longer than yesterday, I was in the state to cry out on this list
on the same topic, i.e. while building the same gtk+-2 I faced the problem of
(devel) libtool not being able to link (only) libuuid in the shared gdk.
Actually, before starting typing the message, I just recalled that there was a
single "undefined" error when tried to link without it, so I turned on the
patching-by-excluding/quick'n'dirty solution, which worked.
