By "it builds OOTB on Cygwin" I assumed it was without
-mno-cygwin. If you want to use it, you should rebuild all
other libraries with -mno-cygwin.

-mno-cygwin is probably more appropriate for a MinGW
mailing-list.

I see no references to SDLmain on Linux. Actually, it's a dummy
file:

840 Mar 15 16:57 libSDLmain.a

Maybe you get the same compiling with Cygwin
(without -mno-cygwin).
