Where it comes from? The compiler specs:

$ g++ -dumpspecs
...
*lib:
  %{pg:-lgmon}   %{!mno-cygwin:-lcygwin}  ...

Its always linked and needed, and it doesn't cause the "undefined
reference to _WinMain" problem in other compilations.

There must be something else that uses something that pulls _WinMain.

Perhaps looking at the link map will clarify what is going on:

	g++ -Wl,-M ... > link-map.txt
