Umm, yes, quite true. I was actually able to reproduce the problem with
"gcc -lcygwin t.c".
There could be a couple of reasons for this, actually: main() could be
missing altogether (typo?), or "-lcygwin" appears in the compile command
before the source (one way that could happen is if "-lcygwin" were added
to CFLAGS instead of LIBS in a Makefile or a configure invocation
command).
