This problem also occurs with LessTif and many other codes. It is because
Cygwin has a different style.
I usually search the configure script for something like "LD="$...." and
replace all those occurances with
LD="/usr/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cywgin32/bin/ld.exe" This hard codes the ld.exe
path and also include at your ./configure --with-gnu-ld if this option is
available (check with ./configure --help). Hard coding ld.exe path in
configure script always has worked at least in my hands.
