The cxpm-noX.exe program, which ships as part of the "libXpm-noX" package, depends on libintl and libiconv. However, the cygXpm-noX-4.dll DLL, which ships as part of the "libXpm-noX4" package (note the trailing '4' in the package name) does not. However, the build system's machinery doesn't know the difference -- and blindly adds libintl.la and libiconv.la to dependency_libs, even though the DLL itself doesn't actually use any symbols from those two libraries. To fix this, I think I'll need to post-process the .la file to remove the unnecessary dependencies, so I'll spin a new release of these packages as soon as I can. (Also, I see that the .hint file for the "libXpm-noX" package indicates only that it depends on "libXpm-noX4" -- it should also indicated dependency on libintl8 and libiconv2.
