Build problems are rarely bugs in the compiler. The makefile or build environment (locally installed libraries, headers, include directories, etc.) are usually the problem. > gcc -Wl,--warn-common -g -v -o ffplay_g ffplay.o cmdutils.o -L./libavformat > -lavformat -L./libavcodec -lavcodec -lz -lpthread -L/usr/local/lib -lmingw32 > -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -mno-cygwin ^^^^^^^^^^^ This means you're compiling with the mingw compiler, and Cygwin is compltely out of the loop. Though you are running Cygwin's gcc, it's really just a shortcut for running mingw which uses none of the Cygwin libraries/emulation layer. > Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/specs > Configured with: /GCC/gcc-3.3.1-3/configure --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld > --with-gnu-as --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc > --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --mandir=/usr/share/man > --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,f77,pascal,java,objc > --enable-libgcj --enable-threads=posix --with-system-zlib --enable-nls > --without-included-gettext --enable-interpreter --enable-sjlj-exceptions > --disable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-shared > --disable-win32-registry --enable-java-gc=boehm --disable-hash-synchronization > --verbose --target=i686-pc-cygwin --host=i686-pc-cygwin --build=i686-pc-cygwin > Thread model: posix > gcc version 3.3.1 (cygming special) > /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/collect2.exe --subsystem windows > -Bdynamic -o ffplay_g.exe > /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/lib/crt2.o > /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/crtbegin.o -L./libavformat > -L./libavcodec -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1 > -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/../../../../i686-pc-mingw32/lib > -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/../../.. --warn-common ffplay.o > cmdutils.o -lavformat -lavcodec -lz -lpthread -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL > -lmingw32 -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex -lmsvcrt -lmingw32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 > -luser32 -lkernel32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lmingw32 -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex > -lmsvcrt /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/crtend.o Since you're compiling with mingw and not cygwin it means you're using the Windows API directly, so you probably need -lws2_32 to link in the socket functions. Check the configure options for the thing you're building, as it seems it was intended to build in mingw but you may have to set some options.
