I guess that should read "You don't, normally."
There may be reasons to look for special, Windows-supplied functionality 
variations, e.g. when interfacing to Windows (likely WSL, in this case).
Without the possibility to use a mix of POSIX and Windows APIs, the 
Cygwin Terminal (mintty) wouldn't exist.

For dedicated linking, I think the order of listing the libraries in the 
link command is essential.
If in doubt, you could also try to load the function dynamically from 
the desired library (using GetProcAddress for the Windows API or dlsym 
for POSIX).
