my /usr/lib mount works okay,
my latest -mno-cygwin linking after upgrading gcc fail also,
   (I do that automatically with a cronjob and didn't have a look,
    since only the xvidcore/dshow build failed)
but I think it's just missing the libuuid. at least for me.

I have the -luuid together with the other w32api libs,
   -lwinmm -lole32 -loleaut32 -lcomctl32
just for the libuuid symbols get "I more undefined references to 
`_GUID_NULL'" _IID_IUnknown, _IID_IPropertyPagem, _IID_IPersist, ...

And what do I find?
there's a new /usr/lib/libuuid.a which takes precedence over 
/usr/lib/w32api/libuuid.a
therefore my uuid symbols don't get found.

$ cygcheck -f /usr/lib/libuuid.a
e2fsprogs-1.35-1

aha, the culprit!
please de-install all e2fsprogs, then it will work.

efsprog maintainer: please move this to your subdir 
/usr/lib/efsprog/libuuid.a
