I forgot to mention that the cyg- prefix on Cygwin DLLs is precisely so
that Cygwin and MinGW (or plain Win32) versions of DLLs can coexist on
the same box.  Linkers other than Cygwin's will not find Cygwin-specific
DLLs that begin with cyg-.  So cygchicken should not become libchicken.

At http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/301.html there's a nice
discussion of building MinGW under Cygwin and why you want to use the
-mno-cygwin switch instead of the MinGW gcc directly (basically because
if your build environment contains symbolic links, MinGW-built versions
of the compiler etc. will not understand them).  There is nothing
LDAP-specific here.
