No, cygwin is very nasty on that  .dll.a files, if it finds a .dll.a and
a .a file then it'll choose the .dll.a one. It is a big big mistake from
cygwin guys because this is something  we find nowhere on *nix world and
i cannot  handle that in examples  as they are not  "configured" for the
running target.

Perhaps a -static could help at linking stage.
