Subject: g77 -lm doesn't work

Using cygwin 1.17-1, if I try to link any Fortran program with -lm I get the
error

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib/libm
.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x7f): undefined reference to `WinMain AT 16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Now libm.a is a symbolic link to libcygwin.a.  I believe the root cause is
linking libcygwin.a before libg2c.a since for any Fortran program I see

g77 foo.f			OK
g77 foo.f -lm			FAIL
g77 foo.f -lg2c -lm		OK
g77 foo.f -lcygwin		FAIL
g77 foo.f -lg2c -lcygwin		OK

Now the obvious solution is to not use -lm, but then I have to edit
Makefiles (or even worse - hack Dejagnu so I can run the g77 testsuite).
Once upon a time the cygwin libm.a was an empty archive.  Can we revert to
this?
