Thanks!
g++ -shared -flinker-output=dyn -o slip.dll *.o
ran with not errors.
Is there any documentation available on cygwin specific issues?
This seems like a question that I should be able to answer on my
own.
Indeed. We do ask people to read the FAQ before posting, and:
https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.dll-building
points to
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html
which is in need of updating, but mentions that you should use '-shared'.
But this isn't actually a Cygwin specific question. '-shared' is
actually the right flag to use everywhere.

why libcmain.a was included at all.
Because the linker thinks you are making an executable, which has to
have a main function.
