It's probably only DOS executables which have this problem.  I don't
believe Cygnus or MingW32 have this problem as they are Win32 native.

BTW, all executables produced with Cygwin use the cygwin1.dll
library.  The Cygwin library is under the GPL, and therefore all programs
produced with cygwin are under the GPL.  The way around this is to use the
-mno-cygwin command-line option on cygwin's GCC.  I personally use MingW32
to do Win32 development, and unix/gcc for my unix development.
