This also occurs on Fedora right now.

AFAICS, the culprit is that the latest Cygwin w32api package doesn't
match the files from mingw-crt for some reason.

The build uses -L/usr/lib/w32api (-L/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/lib/w32api when
cross building on Fedora), so the libs are taken from the w32api-runtime
package.  However, the compiler uses the default crt file
/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/../lib/crt2.o which is provided
by the mingw-crt package.

This is a bug in Cygwin's Makefile since you should never use the w32api
stuff for mingw executables, only for Cygwin executables, but still...

JonY, do you have an idea why the mingw-crt differs that much from the
w32api stuff that the above error occurs?
