Not the problem, but thanks.

Actually, the option does exist with 3.3.3 and it does work.  It forces the
linker not to use default libraries.  I could take the argument out and get
a completely different build.  I'm more interested in somone knowing about
the errors I suppose and how to get around a multiple definition error of
eprintf and alloca between libgcc and libcygwin.
