how to link without libutil.so? [repost]


I'm trying to build Unison version 2.9.99.??Compilation?succeeds,?but?
the link step fails with

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lutil

after running a gcc command that includes '-lutil'.??I've?searched?the?
Cygwin packages, and it does seem that there's no file libutil.a or 
libutil.so in any of them.??On?other?platforms,?this?is?a?standard?
library.

So is there some other library that I should use in place of libutil.* 
on Cygwin???I?tried?'ln?-s?libcygwin.a?/usr/lib/libutil.a'?(what?the?
hell, it was worth a shot) but it failed.

Other people have asked about this same problem in other forums, but I 
haven't seen any of them get an answer.

Thanks,
Andrew.
