Most of them are "interface to the system DLLs" (or import libs as a previous post states). For a complete answer, one would "nm <libname> | grep __imp" on each of them to see which is such an interface. On my 1.3.x cygwin here, for your libuser32.a case, I have "$ nm /lib/w32api/libuser32.a | grep __imp | wc -l 582 " [...] > - is someone interested in a glib/gtk+ cygwin package > (not a native Win32 one)?

Actually, before starting typing the message, I just recalled that there was a single "undefined" error when tried to link without it, so I turned on the patching-by-excluding/quick'n'dirty solution, which worked.
