Ok.  I use impgen from the libtool package, I have this little wrapper:
cygextract.sh:

#!/usr/bin/sh
# cygextract.sh - This wrapper requires the dllname of the
# DLL you want to create an importlib from *without* suffix
# as argument!!! - gph, 2002-11-06

echo $0 creates an import library $1.dll.a from $*.dll
DLLNAME=$@

# set these to fit
CC=gcc
DLLTOOL=dlltool
AS=as
OUTPUT_DIR=.
DLLDIR=/bin
LIBTOOL=/usr/autotool/devel/bin/libtool

# needs libtool
test -f $OUTPUT_DIR/impgen.c || \
        sed -e "/^# \/\* impgen\.c starts here \*\//,/^# \/\* impgen.c ends here \*\// { s/^# //;s/^# *$//; p; }" -e d < $LIBTOOL > $OUTPUT_DIR/impgen.c
test -f $OUTPUT_DIR/impgen.exe || (cd $OUTPUT_DIR && \
        $CC -o impgen impgen.c ; )

$OUTPUT_DIR/impgen $DLLDIR/${DLLNAME}.dll >$OUTPUT_DIR/${DLLNAME}.def
$DLLTOOL --as=$AS --dllname ${DLLNAME}.dll \
 --def $OUTPUT_DIR/${DLLNAME}.def --output-lib $OUTPUT_DIR/${DLLNAME}.dll.a
