Yes,
what is troubling is that previous build did succeed with no less .o and
.lib files, and that other flavours using the exact same toolchain are
succeeding...
It has to be something specific to v3, but might as well be triggered by a
cygwin upgrade...
That's a problem with cygwin, because we can't version the tools easily.
If we respect coding standards, the tools should not matter that much in
theory, but that's the subtle difference with practice ;)
