I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. In the Cygwin User's Guide, it shows how to create a dll with gcc with the -shared switch in much the way you create a shareable library, but it also shows how to create a export library with gcc. In one case you end up with a dll; in the other, you have a dll and a .a file. Why would I use one over the other? And what's the difference?
