I don't see the connection with proper prototyping, but anyway...

gcc under cygwin links in a handful of libraries *every time*,
including the standard user32, gdi32, and kernel32 libraries (where
MessageBox@16 is exported, for example).  Just because cygwin itself
doesn't export the win32 functions doesn't mean you can't get them
from windows itself.  Cygwin includes import libraries for 65 system
DLLs total.
