I do not understand what you mean.  Withing libcygwin.a is the symbol
"__cygwin_noncygwin_dll_entry@12", which sounds like what I need as my
DLL's entry point.

It is not a problem to statically link my DLL against cygwin1.dll.  I
do, however, need to then link my DLL against a vendor's program at
runtime.
