Hi Matt,

I'm not sure I can explain what you should be looking for, since I'm not 
sure I understand what you're doing.  As I stated before, as near as I can
tell you're working with old Cygwin source (for some reason) and possibly
trying to build the GNU C library.  The former seems unnecessary at best and
the latter is a major undertaking at least.  But to your specific query,
libc.a and libg.a are simple symbolic links to libcygwin.a.  libcygwin.a 
is the import library for the Cygwin DLL, which has all the C library 
routines for the Cygwin environment.  Building with gcc/g++ as provided by
Cygwin automatically includes libcygwin.a.  If your symbols aren't resolving
but they are in this library, I'm going to guess that there is a library 
ordering problem but that's a shot in the dark (and not a very good one I
bet) given that I don't understand what you're trying to do and the details
of how you're doing it.

Good luck,
