Moy,
Technically, since you're using -mno-cygwin, this is not a Cygwin problem.
You could probably get better answers on the MinGW-users list (see
<http://mingw.org/>). However, I have a couple of guesses inline below
that might be helpful.

Where is this jvm.dll coming from?

Are you sure you got the right argument patterns here (i.e., numbers after
the '@' sign)? That may be one source of the problem.

Shouldn't this also contain a pointer to the default class libraries?
