Static version of Cygwin DLL?

I'm sorry, but this is completely wrong. There is no static version
of the cygwin runtime, period. The -mno-cygwin option tells gcc to
cross-compile to the MSVC runtime (i.e. the result is *not* a cygwin
application). What you *think* is the "static cygwin" is really just
the import library for the DLL
