Good question.  Unfortunately, you haven't said what xxx.lib is, whether 
it's a static lib or an export library, and whether it contains C-callable
functions or just C++.  <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html> should
give you some idea of the process of building a DLL from scratch with 
Cygwin and gcc.  Perhaps with this and the answers to the questions I 
posed above, you'll be able to figure out how to do what you want, assuming 
xxx.lib is a static lib containing C-callable functions.  But then one has 
to question why make a DLL out of a static library.  Not that you can't do
it of course.
