Side note, the GNU "equivalent" of MS lib.exe is ar. (ld corresponds to MS link.exe). Regarding the issue, it is a bad sign that the archives are named libmbmath.lib, libmbutil.lib etc. For a Cygwin build, you want them named libmbmath.a. The .lib suffix is a clear indicator of a problem earlier in the build, just like Corinna said. Is the Cygwin binutils package installed properly? I imagine something like this could happen if the binutils install is broken and the Microsoft tools are on $PATH (but I haven't tested that).
