I think I have found a problem when building programs using the latest
mesa library, where abort is being called during exit()

The main concern of this crash is the order mismatch between loading and unloading dynamic library. It seems that either crtbegin or crtend code of i386 libgcc has some pitfall. The mismatch always occurs when main() didn't statically link to libgcc.

If my memory serves me correctly, static version of deregister_frame_fn is set to wrong address (see cygming-crtbegin.c) by unknown fallacy of gnu-ld linker. That is, Object file seems okay, But generated dll breaks offset argument resulting in invalid offset operand of memory references, although Kai Tietz said in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57680 that It had been fixed.

Until the fallacy of gnu-ld is being resolved by someone that has plenty of time or someone have workaround against the fallacy of ever-not-warranted linker, I'll suggest you to just call dlopen("cyggcc_s-1") before dlopen'ing any DLL that has dynamic linkage to libgcc. It would be okay for workarounding the problem.
