This problem also occurs with LessTif and many other codes. It is because
Cygwin has a different style.
I usually search the configure script for something like "LD="$...." and
replace all those occurances with
LD="/usr/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cywgin32/bin/ld.exe" This hard codes the ld.exe
path and also include at your ./configure --with-gnu-ld if this option is
available (check with ./configure --help). Hard coding ld.exe path in
configure script always has worked at least in my hands.

check out the configure script itself where the test is performed, i.e.
search for "checking for ld used by" and you may see that you'll need to
add Win32 path style to match certain conditions within the configure
script so ld is recognized.
At least for some configure scripts this has been the problem for not
recognizing ld in my experience.
Hope this helps.

Stipe

might be worth reporting the pb to the automake list ?

I had the same problem, but if you just set the LD enviroment variable,
you mightn't need to change the configure script -
export LD=/cygwin/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/ld.exe
Just make sure the path is correct.

Theoretically it supposed to work. But; it does not awlays by doing
export... before using configure script. Many Configure scripts apprantly
ignore it and seach for LD="$..." whatever. Hardcoding the ld.exe path in
configure works at least always in my hands.

search the mail archives as there was a problem like this reported within
the past 2 months.
its to do with cygnus ld returning a win32 style path which confuses
configure.

I had the same problem, but if you just set the LD enviroment variable,
you mightn't need to change the configure script -
export LD=/cygwin/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/ld.exe
Just make sure the path is correct.
