Just what it says: the linker cannot find library libgcc_s.a (or libgcc_s.so if using shared libraries). In general your compiler can tell you where are the libraries it is using: $ gcc -print-libgcc-file-name /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/libgcc.a $ gcc -print-file-name=libgcc.a /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/libgcc.a $ gcc -print-file-name=libgcc_s.a libgcc_s.a The 3rd test did not find libgcc_s.a and the compiler doesn't show a path but in a way is saying "I'll use it if I find it right here in this directory". > I have glib, glib2, glib-devel, glib2-devel and any other glib packages > I could find installed for Cygwin. If you are cross-compiling those will not work, you need the target libraries (notice the difference between my libgcc and the one your linker was looking for: .../i686-pc-cygwin/... vs .../i686-unknown-linux/...). In other words, your setup is not complete for doing the cross-compilation you are trying to do.
