I know, and I'm soon to answer over there.

libm.a is supposed to be a link to libmf.a, as Ton suggests.

There's about half a dozen. The problem is that I generated the
distribution against Cygwin 1.1 a week before Cygwin 1.3 was released.
Cygwin 1.3 implements symlinks in terms of Windows shortcuts (good), but
it seems it doesn't understand its own older link format (bad!).
So folks might want to use Cygwin 1.1.x until the distribution gets
built against Cygwin 1.3... but it might be difficult to find.
Not a great state of affairs. :-(
