... Apparently I don't know that much since I just checked and they are
distributed.  But all the imports in libm should be in libcygwin too:

$ nm /usr/lib/libcygwin.a |grep fabs
00000000 T __fabs
00000000 I __imp___fabs
00000000 T __fabsf
00000000 I __imp___fabsf
00000000 I __imp__fabs
00000000 T _fabs
00000000 I __imp__fabsf
00000000 T _fabsf

$ nm /usr/lib/libm.a |grep fabs
00000000 I __imp__fabs
00000000 T _fabs
00000000 I __imp__fabsf
00000000 T _fabsf

So the libm, libpthread, etc are probably just there to satisfy link
command lines that specify them, but all the functionality is in
libcygwin.a / cygwin1.dll anyway.
