Quite the contrary - cygwin1.dll is a shared library, which means not
only can cygwin compile shared libraries, but it depends on them!

The special action being that all symbols must be defined in advance.

Look into the documentation of the -no-undefined flag of libtool, and
make sure you are using it.
