What version of windres is that?  That same command works just fine, 
here (from package binutils-2.25-4 on cygwin64).

That's just an example, and for actual documentation it points to GNU 
binutils documentation.  So if anything, this example could be wrong, 
but if there's really something wrong, you should take this up with the 
binutils people.

Well, strictly speaking, according to that syntax, the above command 
_is_ wrong.  -o myapp.res is an option, and as such it should have come 
_before_ the [input-file] argument, myapp.rc.  But like I said, the 
problem does not reproduce here.

Well, FWIW that one does follow the syntax.
