  I have

I know that; otherwise, how would it exist? The thing I don't know is
how to tell gcc and ld to search for Windows libraries; looking at
config.log revealed that gcc cannot find user32.dll.
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32 is present in PATH, I added it also to CFLAGS
as "-L/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32", as well as to the LIBRARY_PATH, but
still no result (well, it finds user32, but ld complains about undefined
references).

Moreover, I have googled around cygwin mailing list but found no
relevant entries.

I have a feeling that solution is simple, but I just cannot catch it...
