Okay, so your program (ssh) was compiled without the appropriate 
__declspec(dllimport) decorator on __progname ('cause it isn't defined in 
ANY header).  Therefore, the auto-import stuff kicks in, and magically 
searchs for "__imp__" + desired_symbol.  It finds it (__imp____progname). 
So far, so good.

Except that the cygwin1.dll/libcygwin.a that you are linking against does 
not have the requisite auto-import support thunks (_nm__*).  Perhaps this 
cygwin was compiled using a (very) old binutils?  pre-20010802 ?
