I have managed to confuse myself regarding libraries under cygwin, after reading extensively on building dlls under cygwin.....
Please check if my understanding is correct. (1) For simple static libraries ld's output is fine. Because only cygwin code will access it. (2) Does this follow with *nix shared library format? (if only used by cygwin programs which emulate *nix (does it also know about shared library objects)? (3) The ms-dll shared library format is only necessary if we want ms-programs to be able to use the program.
