I can't speak for the others. Cygwin1.dll -requires- newlib to be built. The
installed c library on a cygwin system is not able to be used when linking
cygwin1.dll.

Chris is probably the person with the canonical answer. However, "illegal
and an error", or "illegal, warn, and build newlib anyway" both make sense
to me.
