Yep.  The following edited line produces a segfaulting binary:

g++ -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -W -Wall -trigraphs -o ddd.exe ddd.o basename.o
compare.o cook.o cwd.o glob.o 
<snip many lines of .o files>
UndoBuffer.o UndoBE.o WhatNextCB.o configinfo.o  -L/usr/X11R6/lib
.libs/libimp-cygXm-2.a -lXft -lXrender .libs/libimp-cygfontconfig-1.a
.libs/libimp-cygfreetype-6.a -lz .libs/libimp-cygexpat-0.a -lXt -lXpm -lXp
-lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lncurses -ly ../libiberty/libiberty.a -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/X11R6/lib

And the following edited line produces a running (at least for simple test,
breakpoint, step
through, browse source, etc.) binary:

g++ -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -W -Wall -trigraphs -o ddd.exe ddd.o basename.o
compare.o cook.o cwd.o glob.o 
<snip many lines of .o files>
UndoBuffer.o UndoBE.o WhatNextCB.o configinfo.o  -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXm -lXt
-lXpm -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lncurses -ly ../libiberty/libiberty.a
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/X11R6/lib

That line, the bugged one anyway, was produced by libtool.

So the question becomes, what is libtool doing wrong?

Which will probably require shifting over to the main cygwin list and
delving into hideous 
problems, but C'est la vie.

Thanks muchly, Arnaud.
