This looks like it's turning a shared object (dynamic load) library
(.dll) into a static library (.a). It suggests that the linker flag
"-shared" is being ignored in the original case. Or are you having
problems at run-time? I know that Cygwin does not recognize the
"-Wl,-rpath,..." argument to the linker. To get a program to find
any .dll files it needs at run-time, it is necessary to do
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/lib
(The path to the .dll file should be given; /usr/local/lib is the
default path for the Tcl/Tk DLLs.)
