Well, of course -- you are compiling a Cygwin program.  If you want a pure
Win32 program, check out the MinGW project.  Cygwin's gcc provides a
pseudo-crosscompiler that will build MinGW executables when given the
-mno-cygwin option, but any questions about that mode should be addressed
to the MinGW lists.

You create a static library the normal way -- using "ar".  But keep in
mind that if you create a static library targeted for Cygwin, it will
still depend on cygwin1.dll.  You can again use the MinGW mode (with the
corresponding redirection to the MinGW lists on any questions).
HTH,
