I believe it's cygload.cc...

I'm afraid it won't be very simple, but how about something like
int main(int ac, char *av[]) {
char padding[4096];
backup_lower_stack();
...
restore_lower_stack();
return ...
}
with backup_lower_stack() and restore_lower_stack() adapted from the
cygwin::padding constructor and destructor, respectively (the vector can
be replaced by a malloc'ed piece of memory).
However, you'll also need to write a C interface to cygwin::connector.
Once you have this working, I would strongly urge you to submit the code
to Cygwin.
HTH,
Igor
