  Normally for every /bin/cygDLLNAME-VERSION.dll, there should be a
/usr/lib/libDLLNAME.dll.a that contains import stubs, allowing you to link
against whatever DLL is current without needing to specify the version number
as you have done.  Generally these import libraries live in the corresponding
-devel package for whichever package you got the DLL from, and GL is no
exception; using the package search page

    http://cygwin.com/packages/

to search for "libGL.dll.a" suggests that you need to install the
"libGL-devel" package, to go alongside your already-installed "libGL1" package
where the DLL came from.

    cheers,
